This guide explains how to use JLink together with jdeps and a multi‑stage Docker build to create a minimal custom Java runtime, reducing Spring Boot Docker image size from over 200 MB to under 50 MB while improving startup speed and security.
This tutorial walks through creating a simple Java module, packaging it into a JMOD file, and using jlink to build a custom runtime image that shrinks the size from roughly 400 MB to 28 MB, then demonstrates compiling, inspecting, and running the application.
Quarkus 3.37, released on June 24, 2026, introduces experimental JLink support, a full Hibernate ORM 7.4 upgrade, a reflection‑free Jackson serializer, AI‑native extensions, and numerous bug fixes, delivering up to 50‑fold faster startup, 70% lower memory usage, and measurable performance gains for Java cloud‑native applications.
This article walks MCU developers through three ways to invoke JLINK Script within the MCUXpresso for VS Code plugin, showing step‑by‑step configuration of .jlink files, .jlinkscript files, and the Flash Programmer's custom script field, and explains which method is best for debugging versus flashing only.
