Not quite sure if this even is a bug or a limitation I'm simply not aware of. When building an image with the new spring boot support for cds which shipped with 3.3, the image is generated correctly and works as expected. I was just wondering why the image gets so big. In my case the has a size of roughly 650MB. Without cds it is "just" 400MB. After diging a bit I found out there is an additional launcher jar which gets contributed to the 'Performance' layer. This jar is quite big with 120MB. It seems like it is not relvant for runtime, but for generating the cds training run. Is there a specific reason this gets included in the final image? It feels like a waste of space. Roughly 20% of the image storage requirements are from this.
That the application layers contains because of the jsa file for the cds data much more content is expected, having the performance layer do so too, is not to me.
I used the dive tool to visualize the images content.
Current Behaviour
jar is included within the performance image layer of the final image
Possible Solution
Is the jar archive strictly necessary or can it be omitted?
Steps to Reproduce
Build any image for a Spring Boot app setting BP_JVM_CDS_ENABLED=true
Motivations
I think one is expecting the smallest possible image when using the tiny builder
Expected Behaviour
