 This project builds GDAL, extract native libraries and makes it available as Java library. At the moment it only supports GDAL on Ubuntu x64  (Linux)

+### Note on the usage
+Please, make sure that you set an environment variable PROJ_DATA to writable (preferably temporary) folder, for example `/tmp/gdal-jni-with-native/proj/`. That env variable is expected by PROJ, so it cannot be set on runtime by the same process.
