mmm. didn't got that quite. theres that paragaph that says, that if the
so is on the classpath (this could mean inside a jar like or directly on
the classpath), the gij shared library loader will be able to load the
class through the shared library. I've tried that .... Probably I've to
read through the gij.cc source code.

interesting. Yeah I get strange errors here. I will try to get the
locate these. It is a rdesktop application. Perhaps I should start with
something from which I know more about the source code. (Just wanted to
try  out some random java app (1.2 compatible)(of course with all the
dependencies) )
