See the following post on 10/7:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg07 643.html
(I am about to try to do the same thing. I currently have the DLL in my PATH
for win32,
but if I update the version info of the plug-in, then the PATH must change
because the directory
name of the plug-in changes to include the new version info, so I would
really like to make this
work, and not even require PATH setting in the first place.)

Well I have successfully run my plug-in on win32, using a DLL, by putting
the DLL
in a directory: os/win32 under my plugin project root directory.
From the runtime-workspace all works well. (The DLL is no longer in my
PATH)

But when I build to deploy (ant build + export zip) and unzip in my
test-deployed-version
of eclipse, it doesn't seem to find the DLL. Yes the os/win32 directory +
DLL gets
built in the zip via bin.includes specified in the build.properties.

Does something different tell eclipse-on-win32 to use os/win32 dir in its
PATH
in a runtime-workspace as opposed to a deployed version of my plugin?

Never mind, it was a logic problem - I'm no longer using env. vars
to find things but the logic was still looking for them... and exiting if
not found.
My DLL is loaded from deployed plugin as well as runtime plugin
by placing in os/win32!!
