If you are running the program from the command prompt, you need something like

% java -Djava.library.path=/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_3.0.2/os/linux/x86 MyClass

If you are running the program inside Eclipse, you do this by using "Run|Run..." to
bring up the run configurations, and in the configuration for your program, click on
the "(x)= Arguments" tab, and inside the "VM arguments" box include something like

-Djava.library.path=/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_3.0.2/os/linux/x86

(substitute in whatever the path is for the appropriate version of the shared
object you need).
