GraalVM Community Edition for the Java Development Kit
GraalVM is an advanced JDK with ahead-of-time Native Image compilation.
Native image compilation solves Java's slow startup problem.
This snap brings in the latest GraalVM features, as well as access to the latest Java language
features, in one JDK. It empowers developers to build faster, smaller and leaner
applications that are typically ideal for cloud-native deployment.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
