RE: [equinox-dev] Update/uninstall SWT application in Equinox gives Unsa

Are you using SWT on top of Equinox or another OSGi Framework implementation? I would not expect issues on Equinox because we should be able to find the SWT libraries without the need of Bundle-NativeCode header. If you are seeing this issue while running on the Equinox framework then please open a bug against RT->Equinox->Framework (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Equinox) and give steps to reprodice.

Note that you will need a different SWT fragment for each arch/os that you want to run SWT on because each SWT fragment contains the necessary native library for a different platform. Also note that updating bundles with native code is always a dicing situation in OSGi. Java VMs are notoriously bad at unloading native libraries loaded by custom class loaders (such as OSGi). Each time you update such a bundle that has loaded the native code you are likely leaving behind a loaded library in memory that probably will not go away. Eventually you WILL run out of memory.

Hi David,
 
Yes, SWT uses native dlls. And my problem is solved by using Bundle-NativeCode.
 
Thanks,

Hi,
 
I do not know if SWT uses native libraries, if it uses then you should  include them in Manifest.MF with the Bundle-NativeCode: header, you can also try to fix the java.library.path in the command line with your native library path, when you launch Equinox. 
 
I got a similar Exception because I could not load a native library in Ubuntu.
 
 
Regards
 
David

Asunto: [equinox-dev] Update/uninstall SWT application in Equinox gives UnsatisfiedLinkError
 
 
Hi,
I am trying to run an SWT application in OSGi environment. Install/start bundle works fine. But when I update the bundle or try to uninstall-install and start again, I get java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError - no swt-win32-3550 in java.library.path. 
I have tried putting swt.jar in classpath, extracting swt.jar and putting swt related dlls in windows path, also in jre/bin directory. Still uninstall-install works for the first time. If is try the same once more, it again gives the same error.
Any help towards solving this problem would be appreciated.
 
Regards,
-Vidya
