Consider Supporting GraalVM "Innovation" Releases

[lread]

Hello! I'm guessing you are already working on this, but... just in case... Starting with Graal v25.1 Graal is now detached from OpenJDK releases for non-LTS releases. I think the Graal team is calling the non-LTS releases "Innovation" releases.

Oracle GraalVM

For Oracle GraalVM 25.1+ we have the following script-friendly URLs. For example, v25.1.3 URLs are:

curl https://gds.oracle.com/download/graal/25i1/archive/graalvm-jdk-25i1-25.0.3_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
curl https://gds.oracle.com/download/graal/25i1/archive/graalvm-jdk-25i1-25.0.3_linux-aarch64_bin.tar.gz
curl https://gds.oracle.com/download/graal/25i1/archive/graalvm-jdk-25i1-25.0.3_macos-aarch64_bin.tar.gz
curl https://gds.oracle.com/download/graal/25i1/archive/graalvm-jdk-25i1-25.0.3_windows-x64_bin.zip

Interesting that we don't see 25.1.3 anywhere in the URL. On the Oracle website this is described as 25.1 (Innovation). So the 25i1 is probably the version key.

For LTS versions, URLs are unchanged (I think):

curl https://download.oracle.com/graalvm/25/archive/graalvm-jdk-25_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
curl https://download.oracle.com/graalvm/25/archive/graalvm-jdk-25_linux-aarch64_bin.tar.gz
curl https://download.oracle.com/graalvm/25/archive/graalvm-jdk-25_macos-aarch64_bin.tar.gz
curl https://download.oracle.com/graalvm/25/archive/graalvm-jdk-25_windows-x64_bin.zip

GraalVM Community Edition

For GraalVM Community Edition, downloads are still available on GitHub.

But the URL scheme has changed a tad:

25.1+:

https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases/download/graal-25.1.3/graalvm-community-jdk-25i1-25.0.3_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

Older LTS releases are unchanged (I think):

https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases/download/jdk-25.0.2/graalvm-community-jdk-25.0.2_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

Notice that the graal version does not necessarily match the jdk version anymore.

Happy to Help

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

And I'll be so bold to ping @fniephaus from the Graal team to see if he has any tips/corrections.

This is already ongoing

Thanks @HanSolo, very nice to know!

[fniephaus]

Thanks for the ping, @lread. I've indeed already been discussing this with @HanSolo. It'd be great if we could get the new innovation releases supported, so that they can be installed via sdk install java 25.1.3-graal or sdk install java 25.1-graal.

[lread]

Thanks for the reply @fniephaus!

And I guess the community edition too, yeah? sdk install java 25.1.3-graalce, or some such?

[fniephaus]

Yes, I hope these will be consistent.
