How to set the java.library.path from Eclipse

Question

How can I set the java.library.path for a whole Eclipse Project? I\'m using a Java library that relies on OS specific files and need to find a .dll/

Answer 1

None of the solutions above worked for me (Eclipse Juno with JDK 1.7_015). Java could only find the libraries when I moved them from project_folder/lib to project_folder.

Answer 2

Here is another fix:

My build system (Gradle) added a required native library (dll) to the Eclipse build path (Right Click on Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries). Telling the build system not to add the native dll library to the Eclipse classpath solved the problem.

Answer 3

You can simply add -Djava.library.path=yourPath to the eclipse.ini.

Answer 4

Sometime we dont get Java Build Path by directly right click on project. then go to properties....

Then Click on java build path

Click on tab add external jars and give path of your computer file where u have stored jars.
