This is a simple maven project that demonstrates how it's possible to run GraalJS on a stock JDK11. The application is a simple JavaScript benchmark embedded in a Java application which compares performance of GraalJS and Nashorn.
- Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/graalvm/graal-js-jdk11-maven-demo
- Move to the newly cloned directory
cd graal-js-jdk11-maven-demo
- Make sure that JAVA_HOME is pointed at a JDK11
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk11
- Package the project using Maven
mvn package
This project provides two execution setups (using the exec-maven-plugin). One uses the Graal compiler to JIT compile JavaScript for better performance, and the other does not and only interprets the JavaScript code. Both executions output benchmark results for GraalJS (via the GraalVM Polyglot API and the Java Scripting API) and Nashorn.
To Execute with Graal run
mvn exec:exec
To Execute without Graal run
mvn exec:exec@nograal
This project is also setup to run on GraalVM. The setup is the same except that your JAVA_HOME should point to a directory contain GraalVM. In this case, execution without Graal is not supported.
