I have this small springboot app (a POC), with this pom.xml (partial):

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.5</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
    <properties>
        <java.version>21</java.version>
    </properties>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

and only this single class:

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringbootHelloworldJavaApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (System.getenv("REQUIRED_ENV") == null) {
            throw new Exception("Missing required envs");
        }
        SpringApplication.run(SpringbootHelloworldJavaApplication.class, args);
    }
}

When i try to do a native build with mvn -DskipTests -Pnative package, the process fails because of the Exception thrown by my own code.

How the aot process is behaving here?
And how to avoid the error, given the fact that envs-variables are per-environment and are not known at build-time?
