Native libraries are not copied from resources/lib into <plugin name>/lib in buildPlugin task

[Robert Fromholz]

What happened?

When running the buildPlugin task, native libraries located in resouces/lib are not moved into the outer /lib folder. As a result, these native libraries are not found by the PluginClassLoader, which only searches in the /lib. The task correctly copies jar libraries found in resources/lib.

Relevant log output or stack trace

No response

Steps to reproduce

Create a new plugin, and put a native library (either a .dll or .so) into the resouces/lib directory. Run the buildPlugin task and observe that the libraries are not present in /lib, but are still left in the /lib folder inside the plugin jar.
