Configure the runtime environment. Set GRAALVM_HOME environment variable to the GraalVM installation directory.

For example:

export GRAALVM_HOME=/opt/graalvm-ce-java11-20.2.0-dev/Contents/Home
Set JAVA_HOME to point to the GraalVM installation directory

For example:

export JAVA_HOME=$GRAALVM_HOME

Linux and Android

For example:

export GRAALVM_HOME=/opt/graalvm-ce-java11-20.2.0-dev
Set JAVA_HOME to point to the GraalVM installation directory

For example:

export JAVA_HOME=$GRAALVM_HOME

Windows

Download the latest development version of GraalVM: https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-dev-builds/releases by choosing graalvm-ce-java11-windows-amd64-20.2.0-dev.zip from the list of assets and unzip it to a preferred location on your system.
Make sure you have installed Visual Studio 2019 with the following components:
- Choose the English Language Pack
- C++/CLI support for v142 build tools (14.25 or later)
- MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.25 or later)
- Windows Universal CRT SDK
- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0 or later)
Run the maven commands mentioned below in a x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019. This command prompt can be accessed from the start menu.
Configure the runtime environment. Set GRAALVM_HOME environment variable to the GraalVM installation directory.

For example:

set GRAALVM_HOME=C:\tools\graalvm-ce-java11-20.2.0-dev

Install native-image by running:

%GRAALVM_HOME%\bin\gu install native-image
Set JAVA_HOME to point to the GraalVM installation directory

For example:

set JAVA_HOME=%GRAALVM_HOME%

Build using Maven

HelloWorld, HelloFX, HelloFXML and HelloGluon samples

The following goals apply to Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

To build the native image:

mvn clean client:build

To run the native image:

mvn client:run

or simply run the native executable found in target/client.

Build and run the samples on iOS

Additional requirements

iOS can be built only on Mac OS X
Install Homebrew, if you haven't already. Please refer to https://brew.sh/ for more information.
Install libusbmuxd

Using brew:

brew install --HEAD libusbmuxd

Install libimobiledevice

Using brew:

brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice

Build using Maven

HelloWorld, HelloFX, HelloFXML and HelloGluon samples

Set the target to ios (for iOS devices) in the pom.xml:

<artifactId>client-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
    <target>ios</target>
    <mainClass>${mainClassName}</mainClass>
</configuration>

Build the native image:

mvn clean client:build

Run the app on the connected iOS device:

mvn client:run

Package and create an IPA file to submit to TestFlight or to the App Store:

mvn client:package

Note: Since all java bytecode is translated to native code, the compilation step can take a long time, and it requires a fair amount of memory.

Note: In order to deploy apps to an iOS device, you need a valid iOS provisioning profile, as explained in the documentation.

Build and run the samples on Android

Additional requirements

Android can be built only on Linux OS

The client plugin will download the Android SDK and install the required packages. Alternatively, you can define a custom location to the Android SDK by setting the ANDROID_SDK environment variable, making sure that you have installed all the packages from the following list:

platforms;android-28
platform-tools
build-tools;29.0.2
ndk-bundle
extras;android;m2repository
extras;google;m2repository

Build using Maven

HelloWorld, HelloFX, HelloFXML and HelloGluon samples

Set the target to android (for android devices) in pom.xml:

<artifactId>client-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
    <target>android</target>
    <mainClass>${mainClassName}</mainClass>
</configuration>

Build the native image:

mvn clean client:build

Package and create an APK file:

mvn client:package

Install the APK file on a connected Android device:

mvn client:install

Run the installed app on the connected Android device:

mvn client:run

Note: Since all java bytecode is translated to native code, the compilation step can take a long time, and it requires a fair amount of memory.
