Description

Recently, we discovered that Syft, an SBOM generator for container images, has support for GraalVM Native image - https://github.com/anchore/syft/blob/main/syft/pkg/cataloger/java/graalvm_native_image_cataloger.go
However, I haven't tried out an example to see the content of an example SBOM.
We could look into support analyzing GraalVM native image by accepting the SBOM generated for it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Syft's syft/pkg/cataloger/java/graalvm_native_image_cataloger.go and generate or inspect an example SBOM for a GraalVM Native image. Then trace Macaron's existing SBOM analysis entry point to determine whether that format can be accepted. Done means GraalVM Native image SBOMs are supported for analysis with a verified example.
