Native KBean¶
Creates native executables.
A native images is an executable file created from Java bytecode. This KBean allows to create native images from executable jars generated from the project.
NativeKBean enables native compilation for project and base KBeans.
Key Features
- Compiles classes into native executables.
- Automatically applies AOT metadata.
- Simplifies resource inclusion.
- Handles static linkage with minimal configuration.
Example of Configuration in jeka.properties:
@native.includeAllResources=true
@native.staticLink=MUSL
@native.metadataRepoVersion=0.10.3
Invocation: jeka native: compile

Creates native executables.
A native images is an executable file created from Java bytecode. This KBean allows to create native images from executable jars generated from the project.
This KBean exposes the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| args [String] | Extra arguments to pass to native-image compiler. |
| staticLink [enum:JkNativeCompilation$StaticLink] | Tell if the generated executable must by statically linked with native libs. |
| useMetadataRepo [boolean] | Use predefined exploratory aot metadata defined in standard repo. |
| metadataRepoVersion [String] | Use predefined exploratory aot metadata defined in standard repo. |
| includeMainClassArg [boolean] | If false, the main class won't be specified in command line arguments. This means that it is expected to be mentioned in aot config files. |
| includeAllResources [boolean] | If true, all resources will be included in the native image. |
This KBean exposes the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| compile | Creates a native image from the project's main artifact jar. Builds the artifact first if none exists. |
