Arthur SPI

Arthur SPI enables you to add custom logic to generate native-image configuration.

Dependencies

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.arthur</groupId>
  <artifactId>arthur-spi</artifactId>
  <version>${arthur.version}</version>
</dependency>

Usage

You must implement a org.apache.geronimo.arthur.spi.ArthurExtension and register it as a SPI (fully qualified name in META-INF/services/org.apache.geronimo.arthur.spi.ArthurExtension). This extension will have to implement execute(Context) method to register reflection, resource, … metadata needed by native-image build.

Here is an example:

public class MyJaxbExtension implements ArthurExtension {

    @Override
    public void execute(final Context context) {
        context.findAnnotatedClasses(XmlRootElement.class).stream()
                .flatMap(clazz -> createReflectionModel(clazz))
                .forEach(context::register);
    }

    // createReflectionModel() just instantiate a ClassReflectionModel instance
}

you can use context.finder() to find classes based on some annotation.
