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.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
