That's awesome to hear! If you could share any working Hello World repos or similar using Gluon and SQLite I would massively appreciate it. About 5 years ago I developed a GUI desktop app with TornadoFX, Spring Boot and SQLite and it turned out to be incredibly solid, and I've always wanted to go back and try to find out a quick template repo with Gluon to try and do more small desktop apps again.

I'm working on it but nothing to share yet. I think Gluon itself has a few starter/example projects. The Xerial sqlite library already has native-image configuration files in its build so no extra config required. I'm still trying to get Jdbi to work fully with native-image and once that is done I will create a PR there. But my time is limited in the next week or two.

Also, I'm using plain JavaFX with Kotlin instead of TornadoFX. Mostly because I'm not sure about the health of the TornadoFX project and I don't like some of its abstractions.

Isn’t Tornado stuck on Java 8?
