Java – Loading dlls by a relative path and hide them inside a jar

by

I don’t believe you can load the DLL directly from the JAR. You have to take the intermediary step of copying the DLL out of the JAR. The following code should do it:

public static void loadJarDll(String name) throws IOException {
    InputStream in = MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream(name);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    int read = -1;
    File temp = File.createTempFile(name, "");
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(temp);

    while((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        fos.write(buffer, 0, read);
    }
    fos.close();
    in.close();

    System.load(temp.getAbsolutePath());
}
