There is no issue when using the original sqlite-jdbc jar as a -cp argument to native image (like the maven plugin does)
[INFO] Executing: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-graalvm/lib/svm/bin/native-image -cp /home/dbushev/.m2/repository/org/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/3.42.0.0/sqlite-jdbc-3.42.0.0.jar:/home/dbushev/projects/luna/native-sqlite-jdbc/target/native-sqlite-jdbc-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --no-fallback -H:Class=example.Main -H:Name=example
But when you try to replace -cp dependencies with a single fat jar, the native image fails with
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-graalvm/lib/svm/bin/native-image -cp target/native-sqlite-jdbc-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar --no-fallback -H:Class=example.Main -H:Name=example
