title: Can you use jaotc (Java Ahead-of-Time Compiler) with jlink (module assembler/optimizer to create runtime images)?
body: <p>The goal here is to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Create a runtime image that has it's own stripped down JRE (minimize size) - this is what jlink gives us</p></li>
  <li><p>Create natively executable libraries instead of using byte code (improve load times and hopefully remove the need to obfuscate) - this is what jaotc gives us</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, there isn't any good documentation that correlates the two. There seems to be a lot of contradictory ways to do things with these two flows.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to build a runtime image with jlink that uses jaotc generated binaries? </p>
