Hi Alan,

I'm currently looking at the location of our native libraries (the
context is jigsaw, not jdk7) and I'm wondering about xawt/libmawt.so
and headless/libmawt.so. Would I be correct to say that they aren't
strictly required to be a sub-directory and if given unique names
there wouldn't be an issue if they were located in the same directory
as the other native libraries for the desktop area?
libmawt.so is known to the VM. We use it with Embedded to detect if we
are currently running our headless JRE or not: if xawt/libmawt.so (or
motif21/libxawt.so) isn't present then it is an Embedded headless JRE.
So any change here would have to be coordinated with a VM change.
Right, any changes like this should be coordinated with different teams.
Technically I don't see any issues with having the libraries in the same
directory, if they are named differently.
Glad I was subscribing to this list :)
My experience shows that many discussions from Swing, Java2D, JavaPlugin
and other areas end up in awt-dev, so being subscribed to this alias is
certainly useful :)

Thanks,
