[Native Image] ClassNotFoundException

[Ferrarisrex]

Describe the Issue

I package and compile the jar using the maven native image plugin, and the output works fine on the computer that compiled it, even if i change the executables directory, however, if i put it on a different computer, I get
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.prism.shader.Mask_TextureSuper_Loader
i did bring all the DLL files with it, and the target computer has java 1.8

Using the latest version of GraalVM can resolve many issues.

• I tried with the latest version of GraalVM.

GraalVM Version

java version "21.0.4" 2024-07-16 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment Oracle GraalVM 21.0.4+8.1 (build 21.0.4+8-LTS-jvmci-23.1-b41)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM Oracle GraalVM 21.0.4+8.1 (build 21.0.4+8-LTS-jvmci-23.1-b41, mixed mode, sharing)

Operating System and Version

Windows 10 22h2

Diagnostic Flag Confirmation

• I tried the -H:ThrowMissingRegistrationErrors= flag.

Run Command

image.exe

Expected Behavior

@Ferrarisrex Help us help you with a small reproducer, an application you can share that demonstrates this behavior. You most definitely need libraries from the GraalVM distro, not anything pulled from Java 1.8.

[Ferrarisrex]

I can not reproduce the error without the code I already made, so I do not know
the app works fine on computers that compile it, but if I open up a VM of the same OS on that pc, I get that error. is there any way to make sure that the class is included in reflection? it doesn't seem to work with the automatic reflection generator

[Ferrarisrex]

I tried fixing it by just copying the format of the other shaders in reflect-config.json, but that results in a InvocationTargetExcaption

[Ferrarisrex]

I tried it differently, doing:
name: com.sun.prism.shader.Mask_TextureSuper_Loader
allDeclaredClasses: true
allPublicClasses: true
but it says method not found com.sun.prism.shader.Mask_TextureSuper_Loader.loadShader()

[Ferrarisrex]

if I do -H:IncludeResources=".*" it works, but the file size is huge, but if i do -H:IncludeResources="com.sun.prism.shader.Mask_TextureSuper_Loader.class" it does not work

Did you try building your native-image from a jar-with-dependencies?

[Ferrarisrex]

i did do that

[Ferrarisrex]

i did find a workaround, you must do the following:
in your reflect-config.json you must add:
{
"name":"com.sun.prism.shader.Mask_TextureSuper_Loader",
"allDeclaredClasses":true,
"allPublicClasses":true,
"methods":[{"name":"loadShader","parameterTypes":["com.sun.prism.ps.ShaderFactory","java.io.InputStream"] }]
},

and in your pom.xml you must add:
<buildArg>-H:IncludeResources=".*/prism/.*"</buildArg>
<buildArg>-H:IncludeResources=".*/sun/scenario/effect/.*"</buildArg>

this does seem to work for other missing classes of the same flavor, such as com.sun.prism.shader.Solid_Color_Loader, just change the name in reflect-config.json
i put this together without really knowing what i was doing or how things work, so there is probably a better way to do this, please do tell if you know, but this does work well
