2.3 Assembling a Virtual Machine Image

To assemble a virtual machine image, run the following command:

java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar -a config.xml output_dir [hypervisor]

Note:

The default (and only supported) hypervisor is Oracle VM (ovm).

This command assembles a virtual machine image, which consists of two files – system.img and vm.cfg, in the output_dir directory.

The process of assembling a virtual machine image usually takes a few seconds. The actual time taken varies according to the size of the Java application that you are virtualizing.

You can now run the virtual machine on Oracle VM. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Creating Virtual Machines on Oracle VM."

For more information about the -a option, see Appendix A, "Image Tool Command-Line Option Reference."
