gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/graalvm

The Paketo Buildpack for GraalVM is a Cloud Native Buildpack that provides the GraalVM implementations of the JDK and GraalVM Native Image builder.

This buildpack is designed to work in collaboration with other buildpacks which request contributions of JREs, JDKs, or Native Image builder.

Upstream releases

The Paketo team will do its best to provide the latest GraalVM implementations of the JDK and GraalVM, whenever they become available, according to this schedule: https://www.graalvm.org/release-notes/release-calendar/#planned-releases

Behavior

This buildpack will participate if any of the following conditions are met

• Another buildpack requires jdk
• Another buildpack requires jre
• Another buildpack requires native-image-builder

The buildpack will do the following if a JDK is requested:

• Contributes a JDK to a layer marked build and cache with all commands on $PATH
• Contributes $JAVA_HOME configured to the build layer
• Contributes $JDK_HOME configure to the build layer

The buildpack will do the following if native-image-builder is requested:

• Contribute a JDK (see above)
• Installs the Native Image Substrate VM into the JDK
• Prevents the JRE from being installed, even if requested

The buildpack will do the following if a JRE is requested:

• Contributes a JDK to a layer with all commands on $PATH (GraalVM does not distribute a standalone JRE)
• Contributes $JAVA_HOME configured to the layer
• Contributes -XX:ActiveProcessorCount to the layer
• Contributes -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError to the layer
• Contributes -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions,-XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary & -XX:+PrintNMTStatistics to the layer (Java NMT)
• If BPL_JMX_ENABLED = true
  • Contributes -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=127.0.0.1, -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false, -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false & -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=5000
• If BPL_DEBUG_ENABLED = true
  • Contributes -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=*:8000,suspend=n.
• If BPL_JFR_ENABLED = true
  • Contributes -XX:StartFlightRecording=dumponexit=true,filename=/tmp/recording.jfr
• Contributes $MALLOC_ARENA_MAX to the layer
• Disables JVM DNS caching if link-local DNS is available
• If metadata.build = true
  • Marks layer as build and cache
• If metadata.launch = true
  • Marks layer as launch
• Contributes Memory Calculator to a layer marked launch
• Contributes Heap Dump helper to a layer marked launch

Configuration

Environment Variable	Description
$BP_JVM_VERSION	Configure a specific JVM version (e.g. 17, 21). The buildpack will download JDK and Native Image Substrate VM assets that are compatible with this version of the JVM specification. Since the buildpack only ships a single version of each supported line, updates to the buildpack can change the exact version of the JDK or JRE. In order to hold the JDK and JRE versions stable, the buildpack version itself must be stable. Buildpack releases (and the dependency versions for each release) can be found here. Few users will use this buildpack directly, instead consuming a language buildpack like paketo-buildpacks/java who's releases (and the individual buildpack versions and dependency versions for each release) can be found here. Finally, some users will will consume builders like paketobuildpacks/builder:base who's releases can be found here. To determine the individual buildpack versions and dependency versions for each builder release use the pack inspect-builder <image> functionality.
$BPL_JVM_HEAD_ROOM	Configure the percentage of headroom the memory calculator will allocated. Defaults to 0.
$BPL_JVM_LOADED_CLASS_COUNT	Configure the number of classes that will be loaded at runtime. Defaults to 35% of the number of classes.
$BPL_JVM_THREAD_COUNT	Configure the number of user threads at runtime. Defaults to 250.
$BPL_JVM_CLASS_ADJUSTMENT	Absolute or percentage based adjustment of the memory calculator's class count, which influences various memory settings of the JVM. This is useful when the number of classes cannot be reliably determined during build-time and workloads run into OOM situations. Defaults to 100%.
$BPL_JAVA_NMT_ENABLED	Configure whether Java Native Memory Tracking (NMT) is enabled. Defaults to true. Set this to false to disable NMT functionality.
$BPL_JAVA_NMT_LEVEL	Configure the level of detail for Java Native Memory Tracking (NMT) output. Defaults to summary. Set this to detail for detailed NMT output.
$BPL_JMX_ENABLED	Configure whether Java Management Extensions (JMX) is enabled. Defaults to false. Set this to true to enable JMX functionality.
$BPL_JMX_PORT	Configure the port number for JMX. Defaults to 5000. When running the container, this value should match the port published locally, i.e. for Docker: --publish 5000:5000
$BPL_DEBUG_ENABLED	Configure whether remote debugging features are enabled. Defaults to false. Set this to true to enable remote debugging.
$BPL_DEBUG_PORT	Configure the port number for remote debugging. Defaults to 8000.
$BPL_DEBUG_SUSPEND	Configure whether to suspend execution until a debugger has attached. Defaults to false.
$BPL_JFR_ENABLED	Configure whether Java Flight Recording (JFR) is enabled. If no arguments are specified via BPL_JFR_ARGS, the default config args dumponexit=true,filename=/tmp/recording.jfr are added.
$BPL_JFR_ARGS	Configure custom arguments to Java Flight Recording, via a comma-separated list, e.g. duration=10s,maxage=1m. If any values are specified, no default args are supplied.
$BP_JVM_JLINK_ENABLED	Configures whether to run the JDK's jlink tool at build time to generate a custom JRE. Defaults to false. If no custom args are specified, the default args are --no-man-pages --no-header-files --strip-debug --compress=1.
$BP_JVM_JLINK_ARGS	Configure custom arguments to supply to the jlink tool. If any custom args are specified, no default args are supplied.
$BPL_HEAP_DUMP_PATH	Configure the location for writing heap dumps in the event of an OutOfMemoryError exception. Defaults to ``, which disables writing heap dumps. The path set must be writable by the JVM process.
$JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS	Configure the JVM launch flags

Bindings

The buildpack optionally accepts the following bindings:

Type: dependency-mapping

Key	Value	Description
<dependency-digest>	<uri>	If needed, the buildpack will fetch the dependency with digest <dependency-digest> from <uri>
