GraalVM error building using native-image-maven-plugin

Question

I'm trying to use the native-image-maven-plugin to build a Java project but I'm getting the following error:

Answer 1

The jdk.vm.ci.services.Services should come from the JDK you are using to build the native image. You need to make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to a GraalVM.
