I am not sure how significant that would be. It's a tiny library after all - only 0.5KB on my machine. > That's why I vote for just updating JAWT documentation to include > System.loadLibrary() call in the application code. While I agree that the docs should be updated, I dont think it's sufficient: existing applications that rely on this are currently broken. If the applications can not be modified (third-party or read-only) then this (for all intents and purposes) breaks the promised "binary compatibility" of OpenJDK :( Thanks, Omair
