Description Sami Wagiaalla CLA 2014-04-16 11:44:54 EDT 
loadLibrary in org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library able to locate shared libraries because osgi class loaders overload the load function to provide resource location services. Otherwise a path is specified through java.library.path.

For loading the the SWT WebKit extension which will be created to support execution of custom JavaScript (Bug 430538) a path is needs to be passed to WebKit. So a function which follows the search path of loadLibrary and returns a path the library is needed.

The patch proposed here: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/25157/ adds this function.

Make it Block the main bug for accountability. Whether this would be applied depends on the path taken for js execution.
Comment 2 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2016-09-08 07:57:54 EDT 
Another path was taken.
