Image variant with 32bit instead of 64bit JVM #202

Closed vorburger closed 5 years ago

vorburger commented 5 years ago

@rhuss mentioned that perhaps offering an alternative image with 32 bit instead of 64 bit JVM could be of interest to some for smaller (as in runtime memory) containers? Is there any point / interest in this?

PS: Before we start introducing too many variations, we should perhaps tackle #196.

I learnt today that the OpenJDK team's future vision is to eventually get completely rid 32-bit JVMs... and make the 64bit one efficient enough. We could still have a 32bit image in the mean time of course, if anyone would like to contribute one.

Yeah, I think, too, that we shouldn't do this now as we (a) don't have the time to implement it and (b) we shouldn't be more clever than the OpenJDK team. It also doubles the maintenance/support surface, so I'm closing this issue for now.
