Currently I have been installing my jnilib into /Library/Java/Externals. However, I'd like to make it sit in the same directory as my patch.

I know there is the java config file, I am just unsure how to tell it to look in the same location as a patch loading up when the class is laded in the mxj.

In the java config file you can pass jvm startup arguments.

|-Djava.library.path=/whatever/you/want:/other/path|||||

setting this variable dynamically is not possible as far as i can tell 

so having it in the same directory as the patch might be

try something like.:
|-Djava.library.path=/whatever/you/want:/other/path|||||

impossible.

One more thing. I forgot about the System.load() method.It takes a path. 

You could maybe do maxSystem.locateFile for your jnilib and try via that

Interesting thought. Are you saying to try and add that to the static section of the code that loads the library. Hmmm. I just posted everything I did in another thread. I'll have to try it :)

that is what i am saying. the jnilib would need to be in the search path 

for maxSystem.locateFile to find it as well.
