gu missing

[veganaize]

The gu update utility is apparently missing from GraalVM 19.3.0 (Windows) community edition. It is not located in $GRAALVM_HOME/bin/gu and doesn't seem to be found anywhere within the directory structure.

There are no extra plugins to pull for windows and native-image is part of the base build.

Closing this, please feel free to reopen if you still have questions.

I don't understand why this issue was closed. I have just downloaded graalvm-jdk-21 for Linux and the gu tool is not included in the bin directory, contrarily to what is documented here.

The native-image tool is available and works. But the OP was asking for the gu tool, and it is definitely not.

The link you posted is for a different version. This is the latest version:
https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/graalvm-updater/

The GraalVM Updater was removed in GraalVM for JDK 21. For more details and information on migration options, see issue #6855.

Thanks for the hint! Being new to GraalVM, my confusion came from the fact that the documentation for GraalVM 22 does refer to the gu tool, and that I thought that it was newer than GraalVM for JDK 21 (because 22 > 21), and therefore that the gu tool was still documented as available.
