I don't truly understand why the built in mechanism doesn't work either.

I have placed the natives in the same jar in the /natives/ directory as the fat jar method explains yet when it comes to initialisation the built in mechanism results in searching the user directory and the system path and fails.

Before my modifications I found that the TempJarCache isn't initialised. I concluded that this must have something to do with Platform not being initialised with the system class loader. My implementation of ClassLoader downloads jars to a permanent cache on a demand basis giving full privileges to the classes.

My workaround has been to alter JNILibLoaderBase so that in initialises TempJarCache and extracts the native that has been called for, loads it and then returns success. This works very well.

Believe me when I would have preferred to use the built in mechanism as I have spent hours trying to solve this.
