I have no idea how they do it and how the Java VM can find and load these but it works. Maybe you could ask the SWT guys how they did it and
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#loadLibrary(java.lang.String) provide a Maven plugin to add dll/so-files to a JAR in such a way that
the Java runtime can find and load them without messing with java.library.path.
It loads it to the runtime, not a classpath, so a simple plugin could take the dll location (or extract from a jar) and load it, then the build lifecycle can be on it's merry way. However, the NAR option looks to be the best. Eric
