Mind me asking some questions here?

(openjdk 8)

Do you need to install graalvm separately on the target system, or can the compiler and runtime be packaged with the application in the uberjar?

Do you need to change the the java execution command line to enable graalvm?

Does end user need to know anything about truffle or is it api for language developers?

GraalVM has several parts. If you want to run polyglot apps directly, yes, you need to install GraalVM. If you compile your JVM apps to native, no, you get a standalone binary.

Truffle is a developer-facing API.
