Graalvm 21 With Java 17 Support

java October 20, 2021

GraalVM has announced that GraalVM 21.3 has been released, with Java 17 support being the most important aspect of the release. It also includes performance improvements in other areas, like improved native access generation time and better analysis for native images.

There are also docker images with the new release available, for GraalVM Enterprise customers.

It’s actually a pretty big release - the blog entry that covers the release goes into a lot of depth, and it’s worth reading.

You can also install GraalVM with SDKMan! if you’re on supported platforms for that tool, with:

sdk install java 21.3.0.r17-grl
in java graalvm
