Support for Spring Boot Native Image

JKube Kit

Task description

Description

SpringBoot 3 introduces the support for creating GraalVM native images. SpringBootGenerator should detect whether it's a native build and create a native assembly based on some minimal image.

SpringBootGenerator should detect the presence of org.graalvm.buildtools:native-maven-plugin plugin in project to detect whether it's a native build or not. See Spring Boot documentation[0] for more details.

Expected Behavior

Just like QuarkusGenerator, SpringBootGenerator should create a native container image using the generated native artifact.

Acceptance Criteria

• SpringBootGenerator should detect whether it's a normal JDK build or native build
• SpringBootGenerator should build a container image including native executable

Hi @rohanKanojia
Can I try this one?

[rohanKanojia]

@anurag-rajawat : Umm, not sure. This issue requires refactoring SpringBootGenerator in order to support legacy jar, layered jar and native mode assembly types.

@ArnauAregall : Thanks, Were you waiting for this one to get merged?

Could you please try out whether the feature is working for your pipeline on 1.15-SNAPSHOT? You would need to add this to your pom.xml in order to enable SNAPSHOTs:

  <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
      <id>oss.sonatype.org</id>
      <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
      </snapshots>
    </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>

I had the notifications turned on for this issue since on my company we are extensive users of jkube to deploy our Spring Boot apps.

Currently we are on our way migrating our apps to SB 3.x and I just wanted to be aware when jkube was ready to be compatible with GraalVM native images.

Right now I am still not able to try out the SNAPSHOT, our SB upgrades are still in progress, but without a doubt I will try it out once I have the occasion. 👍

Cheers!

That's sounds awesome. Thanks, Arnau!
