Hi,
from my plugin (actually it´s an extension which will be loaded from
another RCP) I need to acess some native libraries (dlls from Lotus
Notes, more precisely). The directory where these dlls are located
(C:/lotus/notes) are included in the PATH of Windows, so when I run a
Java Test app form terminal, there is no problem.
Now how can I acess them from my plugin? I don´t want to include the
dlls as copies (it´s not one dll but a whole bunch of them, after all),
but rather give a path where the classloader should look for it. I read
it´s important to set in the Manifest (tried something like
Bundle-NativeCode:...), but couldn´t make it work.
Is it at all possible to tell the plugin where to look for the dlls
without including them?
Any help would be greatly apreciated,
Georg

They either have to be in your system-appropriate path (PATH on windows,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on *nix) or in your Bundle-NativeCode:
Did you specify all of the DLLs in nativecode? (I think you would have
to spec them individually). In Bundle-ClassPath, you can use the
external: keyword to reference jars that are installed elsewhere in your
system. maybe the external: keyword is needed in nativecode (although
maybe it doesn't work).
You could also specify your java.library.path when you start up your RCP.
Later,
