I have a JAR library that needs a native DLL library to work properly

  • 0

I have a JAR library that needs a native DLL library to work properly (Scriptom/Jacob).

I added the JARs to my classpath in ANT. But I do not know how to add a DLL file so my compiled Java/Groovy files finds them (neither in a generated JAR, nor in an ordinary execution by java Main.class). They are all located in a project subdirectory libs.

How do I have to alter my ANT build file that DLLs are recognized by my application?

PS:

As it works properly in a configured Eclipse environment: Is it possible to extract a fully working ANT build file from an Eclipse Run Configuration?

    You can’t use DLL files when they’re still packaged in the jar.

    I suggest you create an application folder where your .jar will be located at and next to the .jar, put your DLL files there. In your application you will need to load your DLLs from that location.
