Better GraalVM native image geration support about java-wdb HOT 5 OPEN

Sure, you can find all information in this page

https://www.graalvm.org/docs/getting-started-with-graalvm/windows/

you can build native images using the native-image tool (downloadable with the gu utility offered by graalVM: gu install native-image
) with something like this:

native-image [options] -jar jarfile [imagename] [options]

Thanks @Simulacron-3 for the great suggestion. Could you please also share the link to the GraalVM documentation that suggests MSVC is required, and how to build native images on Windows?

I'd also look at the Quarkus docs for building native executables (ctrl + f for windows) there's good info there.

The main problem in my opinion isn't installing MSVC BuildTools (thats just a fact of life on Windows with C/C++ development), but rather having to start the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt to build every time. It doesn't work with the modern flow of windows terminal, powershell, and just calling mvn package -P native.

I am aware of that guide but you have to consider that not every java programmer is also a C/C++ programmer :) I think that if there will be a simple/standard process is better for everyone.
