plugin unable to load a native DLL [message #202740]

Hello All,
I am creating a plugin (for use under Run--> External Tools) which has
some implementation in native C.
The C implementation is available as a DLL.

When i run this plugin application from run-time as a Eclipse application,
i can load the DLL successfully and call the functions in the DLL.

When i generate a plugin and use it, i get error while loading the DLL.
I tired with both the methods below:
System.load(filename)
System.loadLibrary(libname)

Is there any problem with using native libraries with plugin.

Please give me some hint to resolve this issue.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks and regards
Raghavendra.

There isn't a problem using native code from within a plugin - that's how
the SWT toolkit is implemented.

What error are you getting when you try and load the library?
Are you including the DLL in the exported plugin?
