Description:

Adds a new distribution liberica-nik for the Liberica Native Image Kit (NIK), BellSoft's GraalVM-based build. It reuses the same download/extract mechanics as the existing liberica distribution but resolves releases through the Bell-SW /v1/nik/releases API.

Just like liberica (regular vs. JavaFX), both NIK flavors are supported via java-package:

  • java-package: jdk (default) — the standard NIK bundle (native-image + extra languages), no JavaFX.
  • java-package: jdk+fx — the full NIK bundle, which adds JavaFX support.
- uses: actions/setup-java@v5
  with:
    distribution: 'liberica-nik'
    java-version: '25'
    java-package: jdk # optional (jdk or jdk+fx) - defaults to jdk
- run: native-image --version

Design notes:

  • Version resolution matches the embedded JDK version, not NIK's own GraalVM version. Each NIK release carries a top-level GraalVM version (e.g. 24.1.0) plus a components array; the embedded liberica component holds the JDK version (e.g. 21.0.4). java-version matches the latter, so java-version: 21 behaves the same as for every other distribution.
  • Supported on Linux, macOS and Windows for x64 and aarch64 (NIK ships 64-bit only).

Changes:

  • src/distributions/liberica-nik/{installer,models}.ts — new distribution.
  • src/distributions/distribution-factory.ts — register liberica-nik.
  • __tests__/distributors/liberica-nik-installer.test.ts + __tests__/data/liberica-nik.json — unit tests (URL building, arch/platform mapping, version resolution, SemVer normalization).
  • README.md, docs/advanced-usage.md — documentation.
  • .github/workflows/e2e-versions.yml — e2e coverage (11/17/21/25 across OSes, plus a jdk+fx case).
  • dist/ — rebuilt via npm run build.

Closes #878

Download URL:

Releases are resolved via the Bell-SW API: https://api.bell-sw.com/v1/nik/releases
Downloads page: https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/native-image-kit/

Check list:

  • Ran npm run check locally (format, lint, build, test) and all checks pass.
  • Mark if documentation changes are required.
  • Mark if tests were added or updated to cover the changes.
  • Mark if new distribution is being added.

AI Disclosure: This PR was prepared with the assistance of Claude Code (Anthropic). The distribution implementation, tests, documentation, and e2e configuration were AI-assisted; the design decisions (JDK-version matching, jdk/jdk+fxstandard/full bundle mapping, distribution id) were made by the human contributor, who reviewed every line before submission.

Add the `liberica-nik` distribution (Liberica Native Image Kit), a
GraalVM-based build from BELL Software resolved via the Bell-SW
`/v1/nik/releases` API.

- `java-version` matches the embedded JDK version (from the release's
  `liberica` component), consistent with every other distribution.
- `java-package: jdk` installs the `standard` bundle; `jdk+fx` installs
  the `full` bundle with JavaFX/Swing support.
- Supported on Linux, macOS and Windows for x64 and aarch64.
