+# Sample-project
+
+Use this project as template for testing a specific library with GraalVM **native-image**
+
+## Usage
+
+Currently testing:
+
+ [hickory "0.7.1]
+
+Test with:
+
+ lein do clean, uberjar, native, run-native
+
+1. clj-easy/graal-build-time does not work here! Instead you need to rely on the deprecated `--initialize-at-build-time`
+2. hickory 0.7.2 and 0.7.3 do not compile with the demo project provided as is (note this is fixed in master)
+3. Note that `native-image` was not in my path, so I edited the project.clj to hardcode it's full path.
+4. For a slightly more complex project combining hickory with clj-http-lite check out [bbyt](https://github.com/port19x/bbyt).
+5. Expect build times of 1-2 minutes, that's normal.
+6. Test out different permutations of cli args for native-image. I have found `"-J-Xmx3g"` to be unnecessary for example.
