The goal of this project is to produce a simple system for building run-anywhere jar, bundling jni binaries for multiple operating systems and architectures.

This plugin adds JNILibrarySpec, a subclass of NativeLibrarySpec that will take the component name of a JVM component in your build, and the package and name of classes within that component that have native methods, and will generate (or update) javah headers, then compile your native classes including those headers, then copy the native libraries back into the jvm component's build path, in an architecture-dependant subdirectory, where they can easily be loaded by ArchLoader.
