So the solution for using gdal bindings in java was to install the proper version which came with all the dll's and simply using the jar from the maven repo.
I installed core gdal installer in windows, and set my environment variables, and gdal jar started to work correctly in my maven project. Installer used: http://www.gisinternals.com/release.php gdal-111-1800-x64-core.msi Generic installer for the GDAL core components http://download.gisinternals.com/sdk/downloads/release-1800-x64-gdal-1-11-3-mapserver-6-4-2/gdal-111-1800-x64-core.msi maven dependency: <dependency> <groupId>org.gdal</groupId> <artifactId>gdal</artifactId> <version>1.11.2</version> </dependency> Environment variables: GDAL_BIN=C:\Program Files\GDAL GDAL_DATA=C:\Program Files\GDAL\gdal-data GDAL_DRIVER=C:\Program Files\GDAL\gdalplugins Also in eclipse, passing in as a VM argument to find needed *.dll-s : -Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files\GDAL;${env_var:PATH}" --------------------------------------- So code works at this point. import org.gdal.gdal.gdal; import org.gdal.ogr.ogr; public class ShapeFileWorker { ogr.RegisterAll(); gdal.AllRegister(); gdal.VersionInfo(); } Pulled a lot of hairs until now, but finally works. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Native-library-load-failed-while-using-gdal-maven-dependency-UnsatisfiedLinkError-tp5249728p5249930.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
