+## TensorFlow native libraries
+
+TensorFlow-Java is built on top of the native TensorFlow library, and uses [JavaCPP](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp)
+to call that library which in turn uses the Java Native Interface (JNI). In [Java 24 and newer](https://openjdk.org/jeps/472) 
+uses of JNI trigger a warning of the form:
+```
+WARNING: A restricted method in java.lang.System has been called
+WARNING: java.lang.System::loadLibrary has been called by org.bytedeco.javacpp.Loader in an unnamed module (file:/.../.m2/repository/org/bytedeco/javacpp/1.5.12/javacpp-1.5.12.jar)
+WARNING: Use --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED to avoid a warning for callers in this module
+WARNING: Restricted methods will be blocked in a future release unless native access is enabled
+```
+This is expected, and adding the `--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED` flag to enable JNI will suppress it. In a future
+Java version this warning may be turned into an error and the flag will be required to use TensorFlow-Java.
