This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

ACS is a java program, that benefits from all what Java is good for, however also have two downsides:
The statup time is slow
The memory consumption is high.
The memory consumption is an real issue when using ACS in Citrix environments.
So the idea is to deliver ACS compile with GraalVM to provide binary executable programs for windows, linux and Mac - and at the same time provide the JAR we have to day for the more special environment.
GraalVm is "tree-shaking" the java code, so only the activated parts are with in the binary executable.
Also - you don't have to think about the JVM on the client, since the final code is directly an executable - with no JVM required on the target ( client) PC.

1. Run existing java applications by replacing your existing JDK/JVM. See the Getting Started section of https://www.oracle.com/in/a/ocom/docs/graalvm-enterprise-white-paper.pdf
2. Compile an existing runnable jar into native code: https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/guides/build-native-executable-from-jar/#:~:text=You%20can%20build%20a%20native,executable%20from%20a%20JAR%20file.&text=Make%20sure%20you%20have%20installed%20a%20GraalVM%20JDK.
You could try #1 without any intervention from IBM. It may also be possible for you to do #2.
At this time, we do not plan on providing a native executable for ACS on all the various platforms.
