Native API

The Native API offers a JkNativeCompilation class that creates an executable file from compiled classes or JARs.

An easy way to use it is by passing a JkProject when instantiating. This setup prepares everything for native compilation. The class automatically downloads GraalVM, which includes the nativeImage executable used for compiling to native - you don't need to care about GraalVM installation.

It also provides helpful methods to add resources to the native executable.

Exemple

JkProject project = JkProject.of();
project.flatFacade.dependencies.compile
    .add("com.google.guava:guava:21.0")
    .add("com.github.djeang:vincer-dom:1.2.0");

JkNativeCompilation.of(project.asBuildable()
    .setIncludesAllResources(true)
    .make(Paths.get("build/my-app.exe"));
