## Build a Native Executable Using the GraalVM Reachability Metadata Repository
The Native Image Gradle plugin provides support for the [GraalVM Reachability Metadata repository](https://github.com/oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata).
This repository provides GraalVM configuration for libraries which do not support GraalVM Native Image by default.
[GraalVM Reachability Metadata repository](https://github.com/oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata) provides GraalVM configuration for libraries which do not support GraalVM Native Image by default.
One of these is the [H2 Database](https://www.h2database.com/html/main.html) this application depends on.
The support needs to be enabled explicitly.
1. Open the _build.gradle_ file, and enable the GraalVM Reachability Metadata Repository in the `graalvmNative` plugin configuration:
```
metadataRepository {
enabled = true
}
```
The whole configuration block should look like:
```
graalvmNative {
agent {
defaultMode = "standard"
}
binaries {
main {
imageName.set('h2example')
buildArgs.add("-Ob")
}
}
metadataRepository {
enabled = true
}
}
```
The plugin automatically downloads the metadata from the repository.
The Native Image Gradle plugin **automatically downloads the metadata from the repository at build time**.
2. Now build a native executable using the metadata:
```shell
./gradlew nativeRun
```
This generates a native executable for the platform in the _build/native/nativeCompile/_ directory, called `h2example`.
The command also runs the application from that native executable.
Using the GraalVM Reachability Metadata Repository enhances the usability of Native Image for Java applications depending on 3rd party libraries.
With Gradle you can build a native executable and run it at one step:
```shell
gradle nativeRun
```
The native executable, named _h2example_, is created in the _build/native/nativeCompile_ directory.
The command also runs the application from that native executable.
## Build a Native Executable with the Tracing Agent
@ -237,54 +202,42 @@ The agent can run in three modes:
- **Direct**: For advanced users only. This mode allows directly controlling the command line passed to the agent.
You can configure the agent by either passing the options on the command line, or in the _build.gradle_ file.
See below how to collect metadata with the Tracing Agent, and build a native executable applying the provided configuration.
See below how to collect metadata with the agent, and build a native executable.
1. Open the _build.gradle_ file and see the agent mode specified in the `graalvmNative` plugin configuration:
1. Open the _build.gradle_ file and add the agent configuration in the `graalvmNative` block:
```
graalvmNative {
agent {
defaultMode = "standard"
}
...
}
```
It defines which mode the agent should run on.
If you prefer the command-lime option, it is `-Pagent=standard`.
2. Now run your application with the agent, on the JVM. To enable the agent with the Native Image Gradle plugin, pass the `-Pagent` option to any Gradle tasks that extends `JavaForkOptions` (for example, `test` or `run`):
```shell
./gradlew -Pagent run
gradle -Pagent run
```
The agent captures and records calls to the H2 Database and all the dynamic features encountered during a test run into multiple _*-config.json_ files.
The agent captures and records calls to the H2 Database and all the dynamic features encountered during a test run into the JSON file(s) in the _/build/native/agent-output/run_ directory.
3. Once the metadata is collected, copy it into the project's _/META-INF/native-image/_ directory using the `metadataCopy` task:
```shell
./gradlew metadataCopy --task run --dir src/main/resources/META-INF/native-image
gradle metadataCopy --task run --dir src/main/resources/META-INF/native-image
```
It is not required but recommended that the output directory is _/resources/META-INF/native-image/_. The `native-image` tool picks up metadata from that location automatically. For more information about how to collect metadata for your application automatically, see [Collecting Metadata Automatically](../AutomaticMetadataCollection.md).
4. Build a native executable using configuration collected by the agent:
```shell
./gradlew nativeCompile
gradle nativeRun
```
The native executable, named _h2example_, is created in the _build/native/nativeCompile_ directory.
The command also runs the application.
5. Run the application from the native executable:
```shell
./build/native/nativeCompile/h2example
```
6. (Optional) To clean up the project, run `./gradlew clean`, and delete the directory _META-INF_ with its contents.

### Summary
This guide demonstrated how to build a native executable using the [GraalVM Reachability Metadata Repository](https://github.com/oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata) and with the Tracing Agent. The goal was to show the difference, and prove how using the reachability metadata can simplify the work.
Note that if your application does not call any dynamic features at run time, enabling the GraalVM Reachability Metadata Repository is needless.
Your workflow in that case would just be:
```shell
./gradlew nativeRun
```
Using the GraalVM Reachability Metadata Repository enhances the usability of Native Image for Java applications depending on 3rd party libraries.
