There are 2 ways to find .dll a Java app needs.
java.library.path is a Java-only way to tell the VM where to look for
native libraries (.dll, .so). It allows to find the libraries loaded
using java.lang.System.loadLibrary("foo"); The VM will look for
foo.dll using the path from java.library.path, and if not found using
the Path environment variable.
If a .dll depends on another .dll, then it must be found in the
system-specific, on Windows the Path (on *nix, LD_LIBRARY_PATH
usually).
To set the Path using <java>, you must add fork="true" and an <env>
nested element. The advantage of java.library.path is that it's
cross-platform, and doesn't require to fork (I think, I usually fork
anyway).
I hope this helps. --DD
