I have some library files built using JNI in the directory /usr/local/lib/.
If i start the Eclipse from luncher, the path is never picked up by Eclipse, so I need to specify -Djava.library.path to the Run Configurations.
But if I start the Eclipse from command line. It seems working fine.
Does anyone know why it behaves like this and How to configure it to known the /usr/local/lib/ path from luncher. Thanks.
I am using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.6.2, on Ubuntu OS.
That is probably because your shell executes
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...in one of the startup scripts.The launcher doesn’t run those, so the variable isn’t set.
The workaround: Write a small script that sets
LD_LIBRARY_PATHand starts Eclipse (useexec eclipseif you want to avoid a useless process hanging around until Eclipse exits).Alternatively, edit
eclipse.iniand add-Djava.library.path=...after-vmargsTo verify that this works, open Help / About Eclipse / Installation Details / Configuration. The path should show up in the dialog as a System property.
