Java Native Compiler in depth

About this course

Learn how to use GraalVM native-image tool to compile your Java application to a native executable binary. This allows you to get runtime speeds as fast as C++ applications! This course also teaches you in-depth knowledge of JDK tools and the required knowledge of command-line for running java applications.- Section 1: Fundamentals of Java ApplicationsThis section teaches you the fundamental concepts such as launching an application in terminal and environment variables such as “PATH” and “CLASSPATH” and how to access them inside a Java application. It also teaches you the meaning of command-line arguments and how to use them in an application.- Section 2: Default Compiler Tool ChainThis section walks you through the installation process of the default compiler toolchain for each operating system. macOS uses Apple Clang (Xcode), whereas Linux uses the open-source GCC and Windows uses MSVC. You will learn how to ensure the correct installation and configuration of these toolchains.- Section 3: Introduction to GraalVM Native-ImageThis section provides the introduction to GraalVM and native-image. You will learn how to download and install GraalVM and how to run the native-image tool. It walks you through all the steps for writing a simple “HelloWorld” java application and compiling it to a native executable binary.- Section 4: Compiling Java Applications with Native-ImageThis section is the more serious introduction to the native-image tool from GraalVM. You will learn about the outputs that native-image provides while compiling your java application. You will also learn how to provide build configuration by passing various flags to the native-image on the command-line. The important concept of pipelining and redirection of commands on the terminal is also discussed in this section.- Section 5: Eclipse IDE’s External ToolThis section provides an in-depth intro
