>> GraalVM Native Image supports loading classes at runtime if they are known during image build (class predefinition). This is achieved by the JVMTI agent that registers dynamically generated classes in a regular HotSpot run. The Native Image build uses these registered classes to embed them into the produced binary so they can be loaded at runtime. Loading at runtime is achieved by matching the unique hash of generated classes.
