loadLibraries

static void loadLibraries()

This is copied from java.awt.Toolkit since we need the library loaded in sun.awt.image also: WARNING: This is a temporary workaround for a problem in the way the AWT loads native libraries. A number of classes in this package (sun.awt.image) have a native method, initIDs(), which initializes the JNI field and method ids used in the native portion of their implementation. Since the use and storage of these ids is done by the implementation libraries, the implementation of these method is provided by the particular AWT implementations (for example, "Toolkit"s/Peer), such as Motif, Microsoft Windows, or Tiny. The problem is that this means that the native libraries must be loaded by the java.* classes, which do not necessarily know the names of the libraries to load. A better way of doing this would be to provide a separate library which defines java.awt.* initIDs, and exports the relevant symbols out to the implementation libraries. For now, we know it's done by the implementation, and we assume that the name of the library is "awt". -br.
