build-native-image-maven

To build a GraalVM native image from a Maven project, you configure the native-maven-plugin in your pom.xml and execute the Maven build with the native profile to compile the application.

Generating native images using the native-maven-plugin requires a Maven installation, a GraalVM JDK, and access to a Java project with a properly configured pom.xml for the native build.

You can test and run Java native images built with Maven by executing the native build and testing phases within your Maven project to verify application behavior in production-like environments.

Debugging a failing GraalVM native image build involves collecting metadata and diagnosing common build or runtime issues using the guided workflow to troubleshoot configuration and compilation errors.

Collecting metadata when building native images with Maven helps diagnose common build and runtime issues, ensuring the native-image compiler correctly resolves dynamic features in the Java application.

Yes, you can configure a Maven profile specifically for packaging native images by adding the native-maven-plugin to your pom.xml and triggering the build process through that dedicated profile.
