Unrecognized VM option 'UseShenandoahGC'

See original GitHub issue

Environment:

Jib version: 2.6.0
Build tool: Gradle 6.7
OS: Win10 or MacOS

Description of the issue: The base image for java 11 (“gcr.io/distroless/java:11”) doesn’t support ShenandoahGC.

Expected behavior: The application runs correctly on the created JVM.

Steps to reproduce:

Setup a gradle build;
Build it;
Run it.

jib-gradle-plugin Configuration:

jib {
  from {
    image = DockerProps.BASE_IMAGE
  }
  container {
    jvmFlags = parseSpaceSeparatedArgs("-noverify -XX:+UseShenandoahGC -Xss${JVMProps.XSS} -Xmx${JVMProps.XMX} -Xms${JVMProps.XMS} -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=${JVMProps.MAX_METASPACE_SIZE} -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=${JVMProps.MAX_DIRECT_MEMORY_SIZE} -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=${JVMProps.HEAPDUMP_PATH} -Dspring.profiles.active=dev")
    ports = listOf(DockerProps.APP_PORT)
    labels = mapOf("app-name" to application.applicationName, "service-version" to version.toString())
  }
}

// DockerProps.BASE_IMAGE = "gcr.io/distroless/java:11"

Log output: Unrecognized VM option ‘UseShenandoahGC’ Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Thanks for the reference. The link says

JDK 11 | … | In mainline OpenJDK 11u builds since 11.0.9.

The version of the OpenJDK 11 build by Debian in gcr.io/distroless/java:11 is currently 11.0.6. Actually, the image is based on the Debian 9 oldstable, where Debian does not usually provide updates to packages. You may want to use the Debian 10-based gcr.io/distroless/java-debian10:11. Note that gcr.io/distroless/java-debian10:11 was using 11.0.8 until now, and the 11.0.9 Distroless image was published today, so make sure to rebuild your image online to use 11.0.9. ~~Looks like the OpenJDK 11.0.9 Debian build does accept -XX:+UseShenandoahGC.~~

Your previous link lists some builds:

Releases

Known sources for Shenandoah-enabled OpenJDK:

OpenJDK 12+ builds normally include Shenandoah by default; some vendors (notably Oracle) choose to exclude it

Fedora 24+ OpenJDK 8+ builds include Shenandoah

RHEL 7.4+ ships with OpenJDK 8+ that includes Shenandoah as Technology Preview

RHEL/Fedora-based distros or other distros that use packages from them may also have Shenandoah enabled. Notably, CentOS, Oracle Linux, and Amazon Linux are known to ship it.

Gentoo ebuilds for IcedTea have Shenandoah USE flag

Red Hat OpenJDK 8u builds for Windows include Shenandoah
