Answer 1

You need to use a "Native Lib Loader" helper.

The source to one is here: https://github.com/scijava/native-lib-loader

Best via Maven/Gradle or similar: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.scijava/native-lib-loader/

Where you need to add the natives to the project and the required naming convention ca be found in "org.scijava.nativelib.NativeLibraryUtil"
