Native library and java.library.path [message #209141]

Hi,
I am developping an Eclipse plugin targeting for the moment AIX and I
use JNI and a native library to do some kernel calls.
I have put the library in my_plugin_aix_1.0.0/os/aix/ppc/libmylib.so I
would like that Eclipse automatically knows my native library without
setting manually the LIBPATH environnement variable to my directory.
Do you have some idea ?

I see that Eclipse change the LIBPATH for SWT native library at install,
can I do the same ? and how ?

Today my plugin repository is organized as follow:
my_plugin_1.0.0/ ... here is the main plugin part... UI only
my_plugin_aix_1.0.0/ ... here is the native part ... a fragment for my
plugin

Thanks!

As far as I know you should not have to set the LIBPATH etc. There was a
special problem with SWT I think that may have required that. you should be
able to loadLibrary("mylib"). Please ensure that your -os and -arch values
are set correctly and that your lib is actually in the right dir.

BTW, you should mention what build you are using.
