This is a Graal feature than enables Spring applications to be compiled using the Graal native-image command. Once compiled they will have instant startup!
This feature supports:
- Graal 19.2.0
- Spring Boot 2.2.0.M5
- Spring Framework 5.2.0.RC1
To try it out, install Graal 19.2 from: https://github.com/oracle/graal/releases
Then build the root feature project with:
mvn clean package
Now go into the samples subfolder. Each folder in there is using a piece of Spring
technology. Within each is a mini project and a compile.sh script - the script
will call the native-image command passing the feature on the classpath, the executable
produced in each case should start instantly.
