# GraalVM Native Image for Java Applications Expert skill for building high-performance native executables from Java applications using GraalVM Native Image, dramatically reducing startup time and memory consumption. ## Overview GraalVM Native Image compiles Java applications ahead-of-time (AOT) into standalone native executables. These executables start in milliseconds, require significantly less memory than JVM-based deployments, and are ideal for serverless functions, CLI tools, and microservices where fast startup and low resource usage are critical. This skill provides a structured workflow to migrate JVM applications to native binaries, covering build tool configuration, framework-specific patterns, reflection metadata management, and an iterative approach to resolving native build failures. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Converting a JVM-based Java application to a GraalVM native executable - Optimizing cold start times for serverless or containerized deployments - Reducing memory footprint (RSS) of Java microservices - Configuring Maven or Gradle with GraalVM Native Build Tools - Resolving `ClassNotFoundException`, `NoSuchMethodException`, or missing resource errors in native builds - Generating or editing `reflect-config.json`, `resource-config.json`, or other GraalVM metadata files - Using the GraalVM tracing agent to collect reachability metadata - Implementing `RuntimeHints` for Spring Boot native support - Building native images with Quarkus or Micro...
