Try this, add this function to your code. Call it before you load your dlls. For the parameter, use the location of your dlls.

    public boolean addDllLocationToPath(String dllLocation)
    {
        try
        {
            System.setProperty("java.library.path", System.getProperty("java.library.path") + ";" + dllLocation);
            Field fieldSysPath = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredField("sys_paths");
            fieldSysPath.setAccessible(true);
            fieldSysPath.set(null, null);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.err.println("Could not modify path");
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
}
