Last time I used jlink it produced a bunch of folders and a shell file to launch. Is it possible to make it a single binary executable instead (preferrably without GraalVM)?

Also I tried to get rid of unused classes using Proguard, but there are zero tutorials for non-Android java apps.

You need jpackage for that, which will create a native executable (unfortunately only for the given platform)
