-### MultiRelease Jar
-
-The `org.springframework.build.multiReleaseJar` plugin configures the project with MultiRelease JAR support.
-It creates a new SourceSet and dedicated tasks for each Java variant considered.
-This can be configured with the DSL, by setting a list of Java variants to configure:
-
-```groovy
-plugins {
-    id 'org.springframework.build.multiReleaseJar'
-}
-
-multiRelease {
-	releaseVersions 21, 24
-}
-```
-
-Note, Java classes will be compiled with the toolchain pre-configured by the project, assuming that its
-Java language version is equal or higher than all variants we consider. Each compilation task will only
-set the "-release" compilation option accordingly to produce the expected bytecode version.

 {spring-framework-api}/aot/hint/annotation/Reflective.html[`@Reflective`] provides an idiomatic way to flag the need for reflection on an annotated element.
 For instance, `@EventListener` is meta-annotated with `@Reflective` since the underlying implementation invokes the annotated method using reflection.

-[[aot.hints.convention-based-conversion]]
-=== Runtime Hints for Convention-based Conversion
-
-Although the core container provides built-in support for automatic conversion of many
-common types (see xref:core/validation/convert.adoc[Spring Type Conversion]), some
-conversions are supported via a convention-based algorithm that relies on reflection.
-
-Specifically, if there is no explicit `Converter` registered with the `ConversionService`
-for a particular source &#8594; target type pair, the internal `ObjectToObjectConverter`
-will attempt to use conventions to convert a source object to a target type by delegating
-to a method on the source object or to a static factory method or constructor on the
-target type. Since this convention-based algorithm can be applied to arbitrary types at
-runtime, the core container is not able to infer the runtime hints necessary to support
-such reflection.
-
-If you encounter convention-based conversion issues within a native image resulting from
-lacking runtime hints, you can register the necessary hints programmatically. For
-example, if your application requires a conversion from `java.time.Instant` to
-`java.sql.Timestamp` and relies on `ObjectToObjectConverter` to invoke
-`java.sql.Timestamp.from(Instant)` using reflection, you could implement a custom
-`RuntimeHintsRegitrar` to support this use case within a native image, as demonstrated in
-the following example.
-
-[tabs]
-======
-Java::

-[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
-----
-public class TimestampConversionRuntimeHints implements RuntimeHintsRegistrar {
-
-	public void registerHints(RuntimeHints hints, ClassLoader classLoader) {
-		ReflectionHints reflectionHints = hints.reflection();
-
-		reflectionHints.registerTypeIfPresent(classLoader, "java.sql.Timestamp", hint -> hint
-				.withMethod("from", List.of(TypeReference.of(Instant.class)), ExecutableMode.INVOKE)
-				.onReachableType(TypeReference.of("java.sql.Timestamp")));
-	}
-}
-----
-======
-
-`TimestampConversionRuntimeHints` can then be registered declaratively via
-<<aot.hints.import-runtime-hints>> or statically via a `META-INF/spring/aot.factories`
-configuration file.
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-The above `TimestampConversionRuntimeHints` class is a simplified version of the
-`ObjectToObjectConverterRuntimeHints` class that is included in the framework and
-registered by default.
-
-Thus, this specific `Instant`-to-`Timestamp` use case is already handled by the framework.
