GraalVM Native Image compatibility

[mangstadt]

Hi, thanks for posting!

How did you fix it? Maybe I can add the fix to biweekly.

[Hixon10]

I did a dirty hacks :)

For in = Biweekly.class.getResourceAsStream("biweekly.properties"); I just inlined needed settings.

For Messages I created a class, which contains all biweekly/messages values.

But If you have vision, how these problems may be fixed, I can implement it and create a PR.

I am glad that solution worked for you, but I'd rather not move all that stuff into the code. :)

• biweekly.properties: This file is there so that Maven can edit certain information at build time without modifying the code.
• messages.properties: I'd like to keep the messages in this file for organizational reasons.

The fact that GraalVM can't read files from the classpath seems like a major deficiency to me. It is not uncommon for Java code to do that. 😕

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I will try to contact with someone connected with GraalVM. Maybe, I did something wrong, or I need to use some flags for native-image tool.
