 Java 8+ JNI wrapper to the [starship battery](https://crates.io/crates/starship-battery) crate.

+## Usage
 
 The library can be installed from the `releases` repository on [maven.lostluma.net](https://maven.lostluma.net/#/releases/net/lostluma/battery) in two variants:
 
 - `default`: Downloads, validates, and caches the dynamic library on demand. Saves bandwidth and disk space.
-- `bundled`: Contains the dynamic library for all platforms. Recommended for situations in which first startup may be offline.

+Running on other platforms is also possible, however some manual setup is required:  
+First build the project with Cargo, then set the `battery.natives.path` system property to the file path.
