Issues migrating from scala-native-packager

[jakobmerrild]

Describe the bug
We're trying to use this plugin rather than scala-native-packager but native-image seems to exit unexpectedly.

After configuring the plugin with nativeImageOptions ++= List("--no-fallback") and running the nativeImage command it fails with the following output:

Adding the -H:xxx options changes the output as follows:

For what it's worth, I hit on this same issue as you today @kalanzai. I too went down the path of using -H:+ReportExceptionStackTraces, which then lead me to try "--initialize-at-build-time=scala.collection.immutable.VM" which brought other issues.

After seeing the convo here, and seeing that @olafurpg mentioned the issue for and the solution for 2.12.12+, I out of sheer curiosity tried it with 2.12.11, and all went well. I'd be curios if you switching to 2.12.11 would also fix what you're seeing.

I'm not fully sure why or how I can help track down this issue, but I'm happy to provide anything that might help @olafurpg. I can reproduce this fairly easy (with a bare moped project), but am unsure how to trace the root cause/issue.

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
ScalaVersion: 2.12.12 (However, this works when I switch to 2.12.11)
sbt: tried 1.3.13 and 1.4.x
GraalVMVersion: 20.2.0
Java Version: both 8 and 11
