bitcoinj optionally allows using the JNI bindings of libsecp256k1 [0] for
signature operations.

*One month from now the libsecp256k1 project will remove the Java Native*
*Interface from the master branch.*

remain useful to Java developers but the maintainers and regular 
contributors of
libsecp are not very familiar with Java. There are properly maintained (but
unvetted) alternatives such as
