Canonical Working To Package GraalVM For Ubuntu Linux


While OpenJDK Java is available via the Ubuntu package archive and the go-to JVM on Ubuntu Linux, Canonical is working to package up Oracle's GraalVM as another option for enhancing the Java stack on Ubuntu.

GraalVM also offers some other nifty features like its Polyglot API for embedding guest language code within Java apps. - I began with prototyping the creation of Graal builder-images as additional binaries created from Ubuntu’s openjdk-23 package. This is the first I'm hearing of this plan and wasn't brought up in earlier Ubuntu Foundations team weekly updates.
