This is how the statically linked controlexample was built. You can
perfectly well build it dynamically linked against the JNI dll.

The reason I sent you the statically linked controlexample, is in order to
figure out if it works on NT4SP6, since it works fine on win98SE and
win2KSP. Now, you wrote to me that it works fine. So, there is no reason to
think that SWT applications do not work on NT4SP6.
