Will you provide a JRE?

[kwheat2064]

Will there be JRE releases similar to what AdoptOpenJDK provides on their releases page? Some of our applications do not require the full JDK.

Hey @kwheat2064, thanks for the question.

Java 11 runtimes can be created as part of an application's build/CICD pipeline using jlink.

We would love to know more about possible limitations or challenges in using that tool.

If one is going to take the trouble to change old code to be jlink compatible one might as well go all the way and use Graal-native.

@Dmole, curious about your use case here. When you say old code, are you referring to a pre-Java 11 codebase? Java 11 code should run just fine on the appropriately jlinked runtime.

[kwheat2064]

Thanks! I've updated our pipeline to build a custom runtime with jlink.
