Package com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2

Class Chilkat2Native

java.lang.Object
com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.Chilkat2Native
public final class Chilkat2Native extends Object
Loads the native library (chilkat2java) once per JVM. The order is:
  1. the directory named by the system property chilkat2.library.path, if set;
  2. the classpath resource /com/chilkatsoft/chilkat2/native/<platform>/<library> (an application that bundles the library in its own jar), extracted to ~/.chilkat2/<version>/<platform>/ (or java.io.tmpdir, or the directory named by chilkat2.extract.dir) and loaded from there;
  3. System.loadLibrary("chilkat2java"): java.library.path.
Platform strings: windows-x86, windows-x86_64, windows-aarch64, linux-x86_64, linux-aarch64, linux-armv7, linux-musl-x86_64, linux-musl-aarch64, macos-x86_64, macos-aarch64.

    • ensureLoaded

      public static void ensureLoaded()
      Loads the native library if it is not loaded yet. Every Chilkat2 class calls this from its static initializer; applications may call it early to surface a loading problem at startup.
      Throws:
      UnsatisfiedLinkError - if no library could be loaded; the message lists where it looked

    • getLoadedFrom

      public static String getLoadedFrom()
      Where the native library was loaded from (null before ensureLoaded()).
      Returns:
      a file path or "java.library.path"

    • platform

      public static String platform()
      The platform string of the running JVM: the directory name of a bundled library (/com/chilkatsoft/chilkat2/native/<platform>/) and of the extraction directory.
      Returns:
      <os>-<arch>, with linux-musl- for Alpine

    • isWindows

      public static boolean isWindows()
      Whether the running JVM is on Windows (the Windows-only classes check this).
      Returns:
      true on Windows
