The gcj-dbtool managed class loading mechanism for native code has mostly
replaced the old lib-foo-bar "magic name" mechanism. The magic name mechanism
has a serious performance impact on application startup
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174929)
, so we should turn it off. Apparently we still use it to load the AWT peer
code. We should find some other way to load the peers so we can disable the
magic name mechanism by default.
