I was about to report a but to Eclipse, but I was thinking to give this a chance here first:
If I add an external package, the application cannot find the referenced native library, except in the case specified at the below:
If my workspace consists of a single project, and I import an external package 'EX_package.jar' from a folder outside of the project folder, I can assign a folder to the native library location via:
mouse over package -
right click -
properties -
Native Library -
Enter your folder.
This does not work. In runtime the application does not load the library, System.mapLibraryName(Path) also does not work.
Further more, if I create a User Library, and add the package to it and define a folder for the native library it still does not.
If it works for you then I have a major bug since it does not work on my computer I test this in any combination I could think of, including adding the path to the windows PATH parameter, and so many other ways I can't even start to remember, nothing worked, I played with this for hours and had a colleague try to assist me, but we both came up empty.
Further more, if I have a main project that is dependent on few other projects in my workspace, and they all need to use the same 'EX_package.jar' I MUST supply a HARD COPY INTO EACH OF THEM, it will ONLY (I can't stress the ONLYNESS, I got freaked out by this) work if I have a hard copy of the package in ALL of the project folders that the main project has a dependency on, and ONLY if I configure the Native path in each of them!!
This also didn't do the trick.
please tell me there is a solution to this, this drives me nuts...
Thanks,
Adam Zehavi.
