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:

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:

Builds the native library(ies) using bdk-ffi
Places it in the correct resource directory
Builds the bindings file
