 The reason the shared libraries are split out like that is that users can mix and match to suit their use case:
 
-* To support a single OS/Architecture without any dependencies, use `libs/onnxruntime-all.jar`.
-* To support cross-platform: bundle a single `libs/onnxruntime.jar` and with all of the respective `libs/onnxruntime-jni.jar` and `libs/onnxruntime-lib.jar` for all of the desired OS/Architectures.
-* To support use case where an onnxruntime shared library will reside in the system's library search path: bundle a single `libs/onnxruntime.jar` and with all of the `libs/onnxruntime-jni.jar`. The onnxruntime shared library should be loaded using one of the other methods described in the "Advanced Loading" section below.
