The Clojure ecosystem uses tools.deps to resolve dependencies and that is written in Java.

In Docker you could for example download GraalVM: https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/
and set JAVA_HOME to the downloaded JVM.

wow, fastest response I've ever had !

thank you for explaining :)

I got it working now :D - for anyone else who stumbles into this note that the graalvm binary won't run on alpine. so my final Dockerfile
