What is the advantage of JVM if there is no Jar deployments. Other than language syntax, most reasons to use JVM is to get all of those libraries

Thank you for your question.

Short answer, The libraries are already available on the JVM host.

Chancla.io is pre-bundled with the most popular Java libraries, which helps eliminate the JAR/WAR deployment requirement, and speeds up startup time considerably.

If we are missing a particular (common) library, we will add it upon request. If you have private libraries, only used at your company, we will host those libraries in a separate JVM only accessible by you and your dev team. Of course, a fee is associated with this type of private, commercial JVM hosting effort.

Hope this feedback helps.

I think they're saying you don't need to package your own jar, and that other libraries are available - I guess through a Maven/gradle setup.

But not sure! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, you are correct. The libraries are available on the JVM Host. No need for Maven/gradle setup to launch applications with Chancla.io.
