LGTM: Prepping a Mature Open-Source Project for GraalVM
summary
Added native GraalVM support for iText by extending a Sharpen-based auto-port pipeline: Jenkins builds Java first, translates to C#, compiles both sides, runs full test suites and flags manual files. Reflection-led failures get traced against a native run, then converted by the GraalVM Maven plugin into reflection-config.json entries and published to the GraalVM reachability repo. Result: iText 5 runs as a native binary and the process is being modernized for iText 8.
