-# Readme
-The purpose of this directory is to host the Gradle plugin that adds tasks for building the native binaries required by bdk-jvm, and building the language bindings files.
-
-The plugin is applied to the `build.gradle.kts` file through the `plugins` block:
-```kotlin
-plugins {
-    id("org.bitcoindevkit.plugin.generate-jvm-bindings")
-}
-```
-
-The plugin adds a series of tasks which are brought together into an aggregate task called `buildJvmLib` for `bdk-jvm`. 
-
-This aggregate task:
-1. Builds the native library(ies) using `bdk-ffi`
-2. Places it in the correct resource directory
-3. Builds the bindings file
