With Burningwave Tools, it is possible to perform dependency shrinking and also make applications created with old Java versions work on Java 9 and later versions. To adapt applications to Java 9 and later, you must create an application adapater and run it with JDK 9 or later. In this application adapter you must load, by using PathHelper, the JDK libraries the target application was developed with and pass to the method captureAndStore of the TwoPassCapturer component, as the first parameter, the name of the class of your application that contains the main method. In the example below, we're adapting a Java 8 Spring Boot application to Java 9 or later.
