@mlchung That should work, but then the mapAlternateName is called in
NativeLibraries.java . I think the classloaderhelper for the respective
platform needs to implement it. So if i remove mapAlternateName I need to
probably remove the entire file from AIX, so that the classloaderhelper of unix
is referred.
Also in ClassLoaderHelper of unix, the mapAlternateName return null. So should
i keep it that way ?
Other optioon is to set loadLibraryOnlyIfPresent to false in the unix
classloaderhelper ? I am not sure if that would be allowed.
