[native-image] Cross compilation support?

[sureshg]

Any plans to add cross-compilation feature to native-image? I know it's too early to ask for these kind of requirements since we don't even have a working Windows build. IMHO, this would be a nice feature (golang has nice support for it) to have especially if we want to build binaries for all platforms from a CI (Jenkins) machine.

Definitely would love to see this feature! This would make it so much nicer to use Java for CLI apps and servers that need to be distributed to users on Linux, Mac and Windows.

It would be amazing to have cross-compilation support. Is this still not planned for yet, or is it dependent on the Windows build? It would still be useful to have cross-compilation available to create Mac binaries on a (Linux) CI server, and then add support for Windows cross-compilation later?

@thomaswue @chrisseaton I was just wondering if this is on the roadmap for 2019, or has any ETA etc? I think it would be a game-changer!

Hi @thomaswue @chrisseaton since we're halfway through the year, I just thought I'd check in on this one..

Has there been any development on this issue, or any news/progress to report?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

@thomaswue Now we have java 11 and windows support ready, are there any plans to consider cross-compilation support in the near future?
