Loading DLL file in java

Question

While loading a dll file, using System.loadLibrary method, in a RCP application, it's working as long as I am launching the application from Eclipse itself. But when exporting the RCP application and launching from the exported code, I am getting this exception :

ERROR - Native code library failed to load. See the chapter on Dynamic Linking Problems in the SWIG Java documentation for help. Try using a 32 bit JRE also.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: D:\ExportTest\eclipse\plugins\<application_name>\ext\securityinterfaceX86\SecurityInterface-x86.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

Answer 1

You are loading a 32bit C++ binary from a 64 bit JVM. You need to either use a 32 bit JVM or go for a mixed mode JVM. Use the same JRE that your Eclipse uses and you will be fine.
