GraalVM 0.20 Release

[Thomas Wuerthinger]

Michel,

Currently we only support the following zip related classes
java.util.zip.Adler32;
java.util.zip.CRC32;
java.util.zip.Checksum;
java.util.zip.DataFormatException;
java.util.zip.Deflater;
java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream;
java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;
java.util.zip.Inflater;
but not java.util.zip.ZipFile or java.util.jar.JarFile in AOT images.

We might be able to add support for java.util.jar.JarFile in a future release. Is this the only class blocking you or are you running into additional issues?

Thanks, thomas

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.

>> GraalVM 0.20 with the latest bits of Graal, Truffle, Graal.JS, TruffleRuby, FastR and SVM just landed on OTN.

>> * 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.
