Oracle Graal Skills

Use this domain to build, configure, and troubleshoot GraalVM Native Image applications with Maven, Gradle, or the CLI.

How to Use This Domain

  1. Start with the routing table below.
  2. Read only the specific Native Image file needed for the task.
  3. Prefer Native Build Tools for Maven or Gradle projects. Use the raw native-image workflow for simple Java files or direct CLI usage.

Key Starting Points

Common Multi-Step Flows

Task Recommended Sequence
Build a Java class with Native Image native-image/build-native-image.md
Configure a Maven or Gradle project for Native Image native-image/native-build-tools.md -> native-image/build-native-image.md for flags
Fix missing reflection, JNI, proxy, resource, bundle, or serialization metadata native-image/reachability-metadata.md
Diagnose build failures or runtime behavior differences native-image/troubleshooting.md -> native-image/build-native-image.md -> native-image/reachability-metadata.md if metadata is involved
