简介
在之前spring boot3文章中我们介绍了，spring boot3的一个重要特性就是支持把spring boot3的应用编译成为GraalVM的Native Image。
今天我们用具体的例子来给大家演示一下如何正确的将spring boot3的应用编译成为native image。
安装GraalVM
如果要把spring boot3的app编译成为native应用，需要GraalVM的支持。
什么是GraalVM呢？
从名字就可以看出来GraalVM是一个虚拟机，它的主要目标就是提升java应用程序的性能，并且消耗更少的资源。
它在java HotSpot JVM的基础上添加了JIT编译器和AOT来实现将应用编译成为本地可执行文件。除了java之外，GraalVM还支持JavaScript、Ruby、Python等多种编程语言。
所以，为什么要用GraalVM呢？一个字：快。
安装GraalVM也比较简单，我们进入它的官方下载页面下载对应的版本即可：https://www.oracle.com/downloads/graalvm-downloads.html。
GraalVM跟JDK一样也有两个版本，社区版和企业版本，大家可以根据需要自行选择。
要注意的是spring boot3需要GraalVM 22.3以上的版本支持，大家可不要下载错了。
下载完成之后，我们可以像正常安装JDK一样来安装GraalVM,这里以mac为例，假如我们安装的目录是/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ee-java17-22.3.0，那么我们需要配置对应的JAVA_HOME和PATH环境变量如下：
export PATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ee-java17-22.3.0/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ee-java17-22.3.0/Contents/Home
PATH中有一个非常重要的命令叫做gu，如果不添加PATH，那么在使用中就可能遇到下面的异常：
'gu' tool wasn't found. This probably means that JDK at isn't a GraalVM distribution.
安装完毕之后可以通过下面的命令来进行验证：
java -version
java version "17.0.5" 2022-10-18 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment GraalVM EE 22.3.0 (build 17.0.5+9-LTS-jvmci-22.3-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM GraalVM EE 22.3.0 (build 17.0.5+9-LTS-jvmci-22.3-b07, mixed mode, sharing)
如果是在mac环境下，还需要执行下面的命令来解除对graalvm的隔离限制：
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/graalvm
否则在使用中就会遇到下面的问题：
添加Native Image支持
我们安装GraalVM的目的就是使用它的native Image特性。native image是一个单独的jar包，我们可以执行下面的命令来进行安装：
gu install native-image
其中gu就是/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ee-java17-22.3.0/Contents/Home/bin中的命令。
下载的过程中还需要输入一个有效的邮件，并进行邮箱校验。然后一路ENTER就可以了。
当然，你还可以把Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition Native Image下载到本地，然后使用gu install -L来进行本地安装。
好了，到目前为止，一切准备妥当，我们接下来看看如何把spring boot3的应用打包成为native image吧。
构建spring boot3应用
这里我们使用的是maven，所以需要添加下面的spring boot3的依赖：
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<relativePath/>
</parent>
因为要构建native image，所以我们还需要用到下面的一个native-maven-plugin插件：
<plugin>
<groupId>org.graalvm.buildtools</groupId>
<artifactId>native-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
这里我们只创建了一个非常简单的main方法：
@SpringBootApplication
public class NativeImageApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(NativeImageApplication.class, args);
}
}
然后，我们尝试运行 mvn native:build来构建spring boot3应用程序。
记得在build之前一定先要编译好项目。
很可惜，你会发现下面的异常：
[INFO] --- native-maven-plugin:0.9.19:build (default-cli) @ native-image ---
[WARNING] 'native:build' goal is deprecated. Use 'native:compile-no-fork' instead.
[INFO] Found GraalVM installation from JAVA_HOME variable.
...
Error: Please specify class (or <module>/<mainclass>) containing the main entry point method. (see --help)
从上面的异常我们发现了两个问题，第一个问题是一个警告，它推荐我们使用native:compile-no-fork。
第二个问题是说找不到mainclass,根据异常信息，我们在pom的plugin中添加下面的配置信息，如下所示：
<plugin>
<groupId>org.graalvm.buildtools</groupId>
<artifactId>native-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<!-- imageName用于设置生成的二进制文件名称 -->
<imageName>${project.artifactId}</imageName>
<!-- mainClass用于指定main方法类路径 -->
<mainClass>com.flydean.nativeimage.NativeImageApplication</mainClass>
<buildArgs>
--no-fallback
</buildArgs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>build-native</id>
<goals>
<goal>compile-no-fork</goal>
</goals>
<phase>package</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
然后重新运行mvn native:compile-no-fork：

经过漫长的等待，我们终于build完成了。
因为我们的artifactId叫做native-image,所以最终在target目录下面生成了一个叫做native-image的可执行文件：

└── NativeImageApplicationTests.class
20 directories, 14 files
如果你这时候运行target/native-image,那么很可能得到下面的异常：
[main] DEBUG org.springframework.context.aot.AotApplicationContextInitializer - Initializing ApplicationContext with AOT
[main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not find class [com.flydean.nativeimage.NativeImageApplication__ApplicationContextInitializer]
at org.springframework.util.ClassUtils.resolveClassName(ClassUtils.java:333)
这是因为我们缺少一些spring boot的AOT元文件信息，正确的做法是使用下面的命令：
mvn clean package -Pnative
它实际上执行的是下面的几个命令：
mvn spring-boot:process-aot
mvn spring-boot:process-test-aot
mvn spring-boot:build-image
最终我们得到编译好的native-image信息，运行得到下面的结果：

总结
从运行情况来看，native-image的启动速度非常快，应该可以提升不少的性能。
感兴趣的小伙伴赶紧用起来吧。
