+Project Details
+---------------
 * ./wolfssl-lib
   - builds source from OEM WolfSSL repository!! =)
   - only needs to be built once (when you want a new library)
+  - generates BOTH shared (.so) and static (.a)
+  - static (.a) is really just a zip of all the files compiled staticly
 
 * ./wolfssl-jni
   - JNI for the WolfSSL library
+  - contains BOTH C and Java files (for JNI to work dummy)
+  - expects "libwolfssl.a" file to link with during cmake compile
+  - example: ./wolfssl-jni/libs/wolfssl-lib/arm64-v8a
+  - OUTPUT: "wolfssl-jni.aar"
 
 * ./ccc-jni  (default main source code)
-  - JNI, java connections to the native binaries
-  - C files
+  - TEST: test code only, does nothing more, no C files at this time
+  - no C files at this time, just java files to test lib
+  - broken!! maybe replace
