Description

In the current form, the light-bot is a command line tool built with Java. This requires users to clone the repository and build the project locally before running the command line from a fixed location in the workspace. I am exploring the GraalVM in light-example-graal to ensure that most light-4j modules can be compiled into the native executable of Mac and Linux. Once we can do that for the light-bot, we can release the light-bot as an installation package on Mac and Linux. It will make it much easier for users to work with.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the light-example-graal project linked in the issue and the current light-bot build and execution setup. Determine which light-4j modules must be supported for native Mac and Linux executables, and define completion as producing installable packages that let users run light-bot without cloning or building the repository.
