Build native image source jar

Description I would like the ability for Quarkus to produce a native image source jar without also running a native-image build. The scenario in mind is the following, with two machines:

1. Maven builder machine with all needed dependencies, but no GraalVM/Mandrel.
2. Container builder machine using a Mandrel builder image, but no Maven or dependencies. It has access to the output from the first machine.

I cannot find a way to perform a Maven build with Quarkus, such that the output jar can be passed to native-image and produce a working executable. When I give native-image the standard runner jar, or uber-jar, the executable exits immediately with exit code 1.

Implementation ideas This functionality could perhaps be added as a package type selection for the quarkus.package.type property.

Thanks!

Understood.

I’ll create a draft PR later on with a new package type as requested and we can discuss further based on that
