Support for GraalVM native compilation #7369
Description
Describe the issue
It would be great if HAPI FHIR could be used in a Java application that is compiled to a native executable using GraalVM. The heavy use of reflection and dynamic behaviour would require dedicated configuration for the GraalVM compiler (without changing the code, though it would be overall useful to reduce the usage of Reflection). That can be provided as hints in the library (called reachability metadata).
Example of how they would look like: https://github.com/oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- HAPI FHIR Version: 8.4.0
- OS: N/A
- Browser: N/A
