See also the http://github.com/korandoru/hawkeye[korandoru/hawkeye] for a real-world Maven project that provide a native image and a slim Docker image powered by native image.

[TIP]
====
Native images on Windows have the https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/1762[problem] that the native image does not include the required dependency `msvcr100.dll` (for Java 8) or `VCRUNTIME140.dll` (with GraalVM 19.3 or later for Java 11). On Windows machines where this dependency is not in the `PATH`, the native image fails to start, and shows an error dialog "System Error: The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer".

The https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/maven-plugin/reference/htmlsingle/#packaging[Spring Boot Maven Plugin] provides a `repackage` goal to create executable archives that contain all of an application’s dependencies. It thus functions as an executable, is portable across operating systems and architectures, and is still a valid JAR file that can be executed explicitly or otherwise used as a JAR.

http://github.com/korandoru/hawkeye[korandoru/hawkeye] provides a real-world example to package a picocli application into an executable file. You can read the `pom.xml` file of https://github.com/korandoru/hawkeye/blob/main/hawkeye-cli/pom.xml[hawkeye-cli] module for details. Note that the default `embeddedLaunchScript.sh` assumes that the application may be a Spring Application while the hawkeye-cli example uses a customized tidy script.
