gds-token) 22.1.0 and later, Mandrel, and Liberica Native Image Kit (see Options) - exports a
$GRAALVM_HOMEenvironment variable - adds
$GRAALVM_HOME/binto the$PATHenvironment variable
(Native Image, Truffle languages, and tools can be invoked directly) - sets
$JAVA_HOMEto$GRAALVM_HOMEby default
(can be disabled viaset-java-home: 'false', see Options) - supports
x64andaarch64(selected automatically,aarch64requires a self-hosted runner) - supports dependency caching for Apache Maven, Gradle, and sbt (see

native-image --versionThe GraalVM for JDK 17 and JDK 20 release aligns the GraalVM version scheme with OpenJDK.
As a result, this action no longer requires the version option to select a specific GraalVM version.
At the same time, it introduces a new distribution option to select a specific GraalVM distribution (graalvm, graalvm-community, or mandrel).
Therefore, to migrate your workflow to use the latest GraalVM release, replace the version with the distribution option in the workflow yml config, for example:
# ...
- uses: graalvm/setup-graalvm@v1
with:
java-version: '17'
version: '22.3.2' # Old 'version' option for the GraalVM version
# ...can be replaced with:
# ...
- uses: graalvm/setup-graalvm@v1
with:
java-version: '17.0.7' # for a specific JDK 17; or '17' for the latest JDK 17
distribution: 'graalvm' # New 'distribution' option
# ...| Name | Default | Description |
