You want GraalVM, OpenJ9 for that.

Additionally there is jpackage.

GraalVM is very different league. It actually compiles Java application into native code, which takes enormous amount of RAM and processing time. Also it requires adapting application, because it's not a compliant JVM. What I mean is just packaging JVM and related jars into a single runnable artifact which is much simpler task.

Yeah, but that isn't like Go.

As mentioned, there is jpackage.

jpackage is just tool to create installer. I don't think it suits for this task. I don't want to create installer. I want to create an executable binary which I'd put into my /usr/local/bin.
