Rules

GraalVM Tooling · balanced balanced

- Use `native-image --diagnostics` for build-time analysis and optimization hints.

- Use GraalVM VisualVM for JIT mode profiling, `native-image-inspect` for AOT analysis.

- Use `native-image` to compile Java to native binaries — configure reflection with `reflect-config.json` for frameworks that use it.

- Use `-H:+ReportExceptionStackTraces` during development for better native-image error messages.

- Cache native-image builds in CI — they are slow (minutes) but the output is deterministic.
