How to associate JIB and GraalVM

Question

Introduction

I'm currently working on a GitHub CI that automatically builds a container with the JIB buildpack.

And I wonder if it is possible to combine JIB and GraalVM to build a native solution?

The code of the CI:

jobs:
  publish:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:

    - name: downcase IMAGE_NAME
      run: |
        echo "IMAGE_NAME=${GITHUB_REPOSITORY,,}" >>${GITHUB_ENV}
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Set up JDK 17
      uses: actions/setup-java@v2
      with:
        distribution: 'adopt'
        java-version: 17

    - name: Buil JIB container and publish to GitHub Packages
      run: |
       mvn compile com.google.cloud.tools:jib-maven-plugin:3.1.4:build \
       -Djib.to.image=${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:${{ github.event.release.tag_name }} \
       -Djib.to.auth.username=${{ env.USERNAME }} \
       -Djib.to.auth.password=${{ env.PASSWORD }} \
       -Djib.from.image=azul/zulu-openjdk:17-jre-headless

Question

Do you think it is possible to combine JIB and GraalVM in this case? If so, how can we do this?

Jib has an extension for Maven called jib-native-image-extension-maven which containerizes a native image. However, note that it relies on the Native Maven Plugin to do the work of building an executable for the application. The Jib extension mainly copies it into a container image and sets the image entrypoint to the binary (if not manually configured). Here are more instructions on how the extension can be applied.

There is also now [Jib GraalVM Native Image Extension for Gradle](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib-extensions/tree/master/first-party/jib-native-image-extension-gradle). – Harold L. Brown Sep 27 '22 at 12:16
