Til7701 opened a new issue, #602: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-jlink-plugin/issues/602
### New feature, improvement proposal JLink has a lot of plugins. Some of them have been added to this Maven plugin (#513 #539). However not all plugins are supported jet. As of JDK 24 some more plugins have been documented: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/specs/man/jlink.html - `--order-resources=pattern-list` - `--generate-cds-archive` There are also some more plugins which are not documented and thus subject to change. You can list them with `jlink --list-plugins`. The Oracle OpenJDK 24 gives me the following list. ``` List of available plugins: --add-options <options> Prepend the specified <options> string, which may include whitespace, before any other options when invoking the virtual machine in the resulting image. --compress <compress> Compression to use in compressing resources: Accepted values are: zip-[0-9], where zip-0 provides no compression, and zip-9 provides the best compression. Default is zip-6. --dedup-legal-notices [error-if-not-same-content] De-duplicate all legal notices. If error-if-not-same-content is specified then it will be an error if two files of the same filename are different. --exclude-files <pattern-list> Specify files to exclude. e.g.: **.java,glob:/java.base/lib/client/** --exclude-jmod-section <section-name> Specify a JMOD section to exclude. Where <section-name> is "man" or "headers". --exclude-resources <pattern-list> Specify resources to exclude. e.g.: **.jcov,glob:**/META-INF/** --generate-cds-archive Generate CDS archive if the runtime image supports the CDS feature. --generate-jli-classes @filename Specify a file listing the java.lang.invoke classes to pre-generate. By default, this plugin may use a builtin list of classes to pre-generate. If this plugin runs on a different runtime version than the image being created then code generation will be disabled by default to guarantee correctness add ignore-version=true to override this. --include-locales <langtag>[,<langtag>]* BCP 47 language tags separated by a comma, allowing locale matching defined in RFC 4647. e.g.: en,ja,*-IN --order-resources <pattern-list> Order resources. e.g.: **/module-info.class,@classlist, /java.base/java/lang/** --release-info <file>|add:<key1>=<value1>:<key2>=<value2>:...|del:<key list> <file> option is to load release properties from the supplied file. add: is to add properties to the release file. Any number of <key>=<value> pairs can be passed. del: is to delete the list of keys in release file. --save-jlink-argfiles <filenames> Save the specified argument files that contain the arguments to be prepended to the execution of jlink in the output image. <filenames> is a : (; on Windows) separated list of command-line argument files. --strip-debug Strip debug information from the output image --strip-java-debug-attributes Strip Java debug attributes from classes in the output image --strip-native-commands Exclude native commands (such as java/java.exe) from the image. --system-modules [batch-size=<N>] The batch size specifies the maximum number of modules be handled in one method to workaround if the generated bytecode exceeds the method size limit. The default batch size is 75. --vendor-bug-url <vendor-bug-url> Override the vendor bug URL baked into the build. The value of the system property "java.vendor.url.bug" will be <vendor-url-bug>. --vendor-version <vendor-version> Override the vendor version string baked into the build,if any. The value of the system property "java.vendor.version" will be <vendor-version>. --vendor-vm-bug-url <vendor-vm-bug-url> Override the vendor VM bug URL baked into the build. The URL displayed in VM error logs will be <vendor-vm-bug-url>. --vm <client|server|minimal|all> Select the HotSpot VM in the output image. Default is all For options requiring a <pattern-list>, the value will be a comma separated list of elements each using one the following forms: <glob-pattern> glob:<glob-pattern> regex:<regex-pattern> @<filename> where filename is the name of a file containing patterns to be used, one pattern per line ``` Some of them like `--strip-native-commands` and `--release-info` are not documented and thus subject to change. Still, it would be nice to be able to use those options. Since they are subject to change, maybe this Maven plugin could get an option to add those options without explicit support in case the changes break the plugin. ```xml <plugin> <artifactId>maven-jlink-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.2.0</version> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <otherArgs>--strip-native-commands</otherArgs> </configuration> </plugin> ``` On the other hand the `-vm` option is also an undocumented plugin which has been added explicitly to this Maven plugin in #539 So maybe we could add all undocumented plugins explicitly. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
