Re: Little issue with native libs on amd64 platforms

Hi, Richard
I noticed a little issue trying to load in the framework a bundle containing
native libs (I humbly apologize if I'm wrong).

This is what my pom.xml contains regarding the libs

<Bundle-NativeCode>
        native/libclib_jiio.so;
        native/libmlib_jai.so;
        osname=Linux;
        processor=amd64
</Bundle-NativeCode>

Felix converts the "os.arch" property returned by the JVM from "amd64" to 
"x86-64"
that gives rise to R4LibraryClause.normalizeProcessor to return "x86" as the
expected platform, hence leading to throw an exception.

Indeed in normalizeProcessor you can read

if ( value.startsWith("x86") )
    return "x86";
else
    if ( value.startsWith("x86-64") ) // this is never reached, of course
        return "x86-64";
  

Yep, that seems like an issue...I have reversed the order if those two 
test to check the more specific case first...this is committed now.

Imposing on this email, could anyone tell me as well why the maven-bundle-plugin
throws this warning

[WARNING] Unknown attribute in native code: native/libclib_jiio.so=;

In the pom no equal sign is present, although actually I'm not sure that's the 
reason.
  

This is just a guess, but modify your paths to begin with "/" and see if 
it still complains.
