No you can't modify the Java library path (not the classpath) in the manifest file. You must use "-Djava.library.path", the path is OS specific.

The Java library path can be set at runtime programmatically but it's a hack, it might break:

I use maven-nativedependencies-plugin but I don't know whether it still works.

By the way, if you use a single "executable" JAR without a real launcher, please keep in mind that it has numerous limitations as I explained here:
