Since it seems to work under your IDE, and it works with the original jna.jar, but it doesn't work after processing with one-jar.sf.net, maybe it's the one-jar configuration that is causing the problem? Since one-jar puts the native library in a different location than expected by JNA and uses its own class loader to load the native library, I'd say that's a good candidate for investigation.

Actually the extraction and loading of the library works just fine with one-jar but I did look further into the DeleteNativeLibrary class and that's the part that fails with one-jar since it puts library jars on the classpath specially--basically the runtime exec is doomed to never find the DeleteNativeLibrary main.

No, it's not an ideal solution. As such, it's even less than ideal to add complexities to it to handle special cases or custom configuration.

Well I was really trying to suggest an alternative approach which doesn't actually change any JNA API but allows an application developer the opportunity to be fully in control of the files written out while its running. My contribution didn't change anything for those user's that don't set the System Property... But it does allow certain developers who read more documentation the ability to have more control over the filesystem altering behaviour of their application. (And to avoid initializing a second JVM instance to delete a single file.)

Otherwise I guess I'm left with the prospect of altering all of my different platform deployments to ensure the JNA native bits are accessible on java.library.path which is not nearly as attractive.
