Running on MacOSX 10.2.3 Using Eclipse eclipse-SDK-I20030129-macosx-carbon.zip [I think this bug really means one cannot run a java application on MacOSX that accesses a native shared library.] Here is a specific instance, attempting to run as a Java Application, the SWT example at: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-swt-home/dev.html#snippets for scroll an image flicker free. About the only thing significant for that application is that it uses SWT, and is run as an application. In order to run, that will need a access to the SWT.jar, which requires access to the shared library: org.eclipse.swt.carbon_2.1.0/os/macosx/ppc/libswt-carbon-2126.jnilib That access is provided by specifying a VM Argument in the Run Configuration: -Djava.library.path=/Volumes/FWDrive2/eclipse_Jan29_03/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.carbon_2.1.0/os/macosx/ppc/libswt-carbon-2126.jnilib However, eclipse will return an error, when it attempts to access that. I do not know if this may somehow be a product of the fact that eclipse is running on a non-boot drive?! This problem with specifying paths has been run into elsewhere, unfortunately I do not have record of the circumstance.
The -Djava.library.path argument expects the directory containing the library, not the library itself. Remove the last component from the path, and I'm sure it will work.
Andre's comment got it. Specifying the containing folder rather than the library file has it working. This bug should be removed.
