Description
Sometimes, a Java component will have one or more corresponding native libraries associated with it. In our case, we would like to migrate Rick's decon project to the Java repository under Maven, but it needs some native library integration to work properly.
See this article for some details.

Using Maven2 to build projects which use JNI code
Richard van der Hoff
The solution he wound up with is to put the native code in a jar file then he wrote an open-source custom loader that decompresses from the jar file into a temporary directory and does the loadLibrary.

It looks like the FreeHEP Maven Native Archive Plugin has gotten very good since van der Hoff's article (he even says as much). It looks like we may not even need CMake at all to use it. Hopefully it is good enough to meet our use cases.

Turns out that freehep-nar-plugin has been replaced by maven-nar-plugin.

Aivar now has a source:trunk/extra/native-library-util project for handling native libraries. I need to better understand how to use Maven to build native code, whether the maven-nar-plugin will be useful for deployment (Aivar says no), and how he is currently using the maven-native-plugin.
comment:13 Changed 2011-04-25T11:22:39-05:00 by curtis
- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
At this point Aivar has done a lot more research into this issue, and generally has the maven-nar-plugin working with SLIM-curve. I am closing this ticket for the time being, and will reopen if needed.

See ticket #281 for further details on Aivar's work.
