How to import AkkaSubstitutions

[raboof]

It looks like just depending on graal-akka-actor is not sufficient to pull in the AkkaSubstitutions. Let's see if we can make that automatic, or document how to do it. Or perhaps we can refactor something upstream to make it no longer necessary?

It works for me. I didn't publish these yet so I only tested with publishLocal but I was able to remove the substitution in the example repo and just depend on graal-akka-actor.

See my updated branch in the example repo: https://github.com/vmencik/akka-graal-native/tree/feature/wip-use-config-lib

Just publishLocal the lib repo with the same version.

Also with Scala 2.13 the substitution for the scheduler is no longer necessary. Not sure why but native-image can recalculate the field automatically. Probably some change in the emitted bytecode.

But for Scala 2.13 we need another substitution to deal with MethodHandle used in Statics.releaseFence().

It seems the graal NativeImageBuildServer gets confused when I publishLocal the library again under the same version number as before - indeed it picked up the AkkaSubstitutions fine 👍 .
