- The native-image tool: We will cover how to install and run the
native-image
tool. - GraalVM Dashboard: We will be using GraalVM Dashboard in this chapter to analyze the native images that we create.
- Access to GitHub: There are some sample code snippets, which are available in a Git repository. The code can be downloaded from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Supercharge-Your-Applications-with-GraalVM/tree/main/Chapter05.
