How add Flyway dependency and build native image Quarkus java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.vfs.VirtualFileFilter

Question

I'm building an app using quarkus, kotlin and flyway. Everything works fine with the JVM execution, but it fails when we try to build a native image. After some debugging I found that the way Quarkus builds the native image is trying to load some dependencies from Flyway that we are not using like jboss-vfs or the Android SDK.

This is the output from the mvn package -Pnative -Dnative-image.docker-build=true command:

The inner exception message is

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.vfs.VirtualFileFilter

What's the "right way" to add Flyway as a dependency and being able to compile a native image without adding all the unused/optional dependencies?

Quarkus supports Flyway without issues when executing in JVM mode, so you can use it as always.

Quarkus native applications with Flyway are not supported yet. Some work to support it is in progress here: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/1575
