I'm trying to "gradlize" a project involving native libraries as well and I'd like to do this the state-of-the-art
I tried re-adapting what Jendrik wrote <https://github.com/jjohannes/what-if-gradle-metadata/blob/master/libraries/lwjgl/build.gradle.kts|here>, I'm stuck into packing the natives into the variant jar file <https://github.com/elect86/jni_notifications/blob/master/build.gradle.kts#L39|here>:
```nativeVariants.forEach { variantDefinition -&gt;
    val nativeJar = tasks.create&lt;Jar&gt;(variantDefinition.classifier + "Jar") {
        doLast {
            val lib = ".." // lib.dll/so/jnilib
            // this is wrong
            archiveFile.get().asFile.writeBytes(projectDir.resolve(lib).readBytes())
        }
    }```
the archive file is the jar, how may I pack them in there?

if I try
```tarTree(archiveFile).plus(projectDir.resolve(lib))```
&gt;  &gt; Querying the mapped value of task ':natives-linux-aarm64Jar' property 'archiveFile' before task ':natives-linux-aarm64Jar' has completed is not supported

I'm trying
```tasks.create<Jar>(variantDefinition.classifier + "Jar") {
    from(projectDir.resolve(lib))```
but the resulting jars are invalid

everything was disabled by this line `actions = listOf()`
removing it fixes it
