JEP 483: Ahead-of-Time Class Loading and Linking
openjdk.orgI'd love to have this out of the box with Java. I know it's possible already with other tooling but it seemed complicated or came with downsides.
> Conversations with some potential users suggest that they are willing to accept fixed class paths and module configurations, and thus a fixed set of built-in class loaders, and to use specialized class loaders only when that flexibility is required
I might be misunderstanding the level of difficulty of this, but I'm surprised that a custom location/locations would need to be out of scope.
It probably means simply that the paths to the jar files cannot change between the training run and the actual run. So any valid path/location is ok as long as it stays the same.
