Creating Tiny Runtime Images With JLink & JDK9
Huge JRE images were a huge problem for packaging and deploying small and lightweight tools based on Java.
I tried to reduce Java runtime images. And I was surprised how well that works. With JDK 9 a minimal image targeting desktops can be as small as 18MB(!). This is a huge improvement!
I will investigate this and continue to blog about it.
