Suggestion:

Pre-built binaries for jextract are periodically released [here](https://jdk.java.net/jextract). These binaries are built from the `master` branch of this repo, and target the foreign memory access and function API in the latest mainline JDK (for which binaries can be found [here](https://jdk.java.net)).

Suggestion:

Alternatively, to build jextract from the latest sources (which include all the latest updates and fixes) please refer to the [building](#building--testing) section below.
