Java Native Image Buildpack Reference

This reference documentation offers an in-depth description of the behavior and configuration options of the Paketo Java Native Image Buildpack. For explanations of how to use the buildpack for several common use-cases, see the Paketo Java Native Image Buildpack How To documentation.

The [Paketo Java Native Image Buildpack][bp/java-native-image] allows users to create an image containing a GraalVM native image application. The Java Native Image Buildpack supports the same build tools and configuration options as the Java Buildpack. The build must produce an executable jar.

Supported Applications

For all native image builds, it is required that:

  • BP_NATIVE_IMAGE is set at build time.

For Spring Boot applications, it is required that:

  • The application declares a dependency on Spring Native.
  • The version of Spring Native declared by the application may require a specific version of Spring Boot. See the Spring Native release notes for supported Spring Boot versions.
