[udig-devel] where are native libs held?

[Andrea Antonello]

Hi developers,
I need some help on this. I assume this has been solved already (OSSIM
was JNI bound?) and else it will need to be solved, since I heard about
JNI with gdal and someone wants to try out 3d with Jogl, which all need
native libs.

my question is: how to deal with the native libs? Let's suppose I want
to create a plugin that has some native components, then my idea would
be to create different plugins for the different environmen ts, which
can then be installed or not. But how do I refer to the native libs?
What is the equivalent to updating the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or putting the
native libs into the jre? It would be nice to be able to deploy the
plugin and have automagically the libs put into the library path.

Any hint welcome,
Thanks,
Andrea
