GraalVM Java Development Kit
Oracle · Oracle’s GraalVM JDK for macOS, with the Graal JIT compiler and support for building Java applications as native executables.
About
GraalVM Java Development Kit is Oracle’s JDK for macOS, intended for Java development. This Homebrew cask installs the graalvm-jdk@25 variant. The GraalVM platform also offers ahead-of-time compilation through Native Image, which can produce native executables from Java applications.
- Use the GraalVM JDK with the optimizing Graal just-in-time (JIT) compiler for Java applications.
- Native Image can compile applications ahead of time into executables; the GraalVM site describes potential benefits such as fast startup and compact packaging.
- The official site documents Java IDE and development-tool use, Maven and Gradle build plugins, JUnit 5 testing, and native debugging with GDB.
- The JDK is installed in
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-25.jdk.
Install with brew install --cask graalvm-jdk@25. Installing this cask means you agree to Oracle’s GraalVM Free Terms and Conditions. Native Image is a GraalVM capability; the supplied cask entry identifies this package as a JDK and does not establish that a separate native-image workflow is configured for you.
