Mandrel
java-distribution lang red-hat
Mandrel is a downstream distribution of the GraalVM community edition.
Mandrel’s main goal is to provide a native-image release specifically to support Quarkus. The
aim is to align the native-image capabilities from GraalVM with OpenJDK and Red Hat Enterprise Linux libraries to
improve maintainability for native Quarkus applications. Mandrel can best be described as a distribution of a regular
OpenJDK with a specially packaged GraalVM Native Image builder (native-image).

Mandrel follows the GraalVM Community release cadence in principle, but extends the maintenance window for long term JDK releases.
That is, starting with JDK 20 in June 2023, Mandrel follows the JDK’s six-month release cadence and only supports the latest JDK version and (at least) the latest LTS JDK version as listed in JDK Releases. In some cases and depending on the needs of Quarkus, Mandrel may support the two most recent LTS JDK versions to ease transition to the latest LTS.
Mandrel is released using the old internal version of GraalVM and will align with JDK’s release numbering scheme with the 25.0 release in September 2025.
You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
