I have a java project that connects to a fingerprint scanner through a JNI library. I have the project running perfectly in netbeans with the jni files in the root directory of the java project. The problem occurs when I try and package it as a jar. Im having this error:
C:\Users\dwake\Desktop\OnceAgain\TestJob\dist>java -jar TestJob.jar

I know this is caused by a library file not being in the correct directory or not being found by the java virtual machine. How would I get my JNI libraries to compile with the jar?
P.S. I have tried opening the jar with 7zip and placing the .dll files in the jar but this hasnt helped.
Try this:
java -Djava.library.path=/path/to/dlls/ -jar TestJob.jar
