GraalVM 0.20 Release

[Michel Trudeau]

I've been trying to create an aot-image for my application, it is using 
JarFile class, and I end up with the following error.   Any workaround 
?   I tried replacing the JarFile class in the rt.jar from the 
downloaded graal distribution with one that doesn't contain a reference 
to JarVerifier, but that didn't work.

     java.util.jar.JarFile.getManifestFromReference(): Type is marked as 
deleted: HotSpotType<Ljava/util/jar/JarVerifier;, resolved>
         at java.util.jar.JarFile.getManifestFromReference(JarFile.java:184)
         at java.util.jar.JarFile.getManifest(JarFile.java:180)

Thanks,

> Hi guys,
>
> GraalVM 0.20 with the latest bits of Graal, Truffle, Graal.JS, 
> TruffleRuby, FastR and SVM just landed on OTN.
>
> The bits are from early February and based on Truffle 0.23 and LabsJDK 
> 8 with JVMCI 0.23.
>
> New and Noteworthy:
> * This release now includes the Substrate VM image builder 
> (bin/aot-image). It is possible to create SVM executable images of 
> Graal.JS using "bin/aot-image --js" and TruffleRuby using 
> "bin/aot-image --ruby".
> * Instead of a Development Kit and Runtime distribution we now 
> distinguish between GraalVM with JDK and GraalVM without. The version 
> without JDK requires a JVMCI enabled JDK 8 to be specified using the 
> JAVA_HOME environment variable. Please note that this version of 
> GraalVM is not yet compatible with early access builds of JDK9.
