31 * This is copied from java.awt.Toolkit since we need the library
32 * loaded in sun.awt.image also:
33 *
34 * WARNING: This is a temporary workaround for a problem in the
35 * way the AWT loads native libraries. A number of classes in this
36 * package (sun.awt.image) have a native method, initIDs(),
37 * which initializes
38 * the JNI field and method ids used in the native portion of
39 * their implementation.
40 *
41 * Since the use and storage of these ids is done by the
42 * implementation libraries, the implementation of these method is
43 * provided by the particular AWT implementations (for example,
44 * "Toolkit"s/Peer), such as Motif, Microsoft Windows, or Tiny. The
45 * problem is that this means that the native libraries must be
46 * loaded by the java.* classes, which do not necessarily know the
47 * names of the libraries to load. A better way of doing this
48 * would be to provide a separate library which defines java.awt.*
49 * initIDs, and exports the relevant symbols out to the
50 * implementation libraries.
51 *
52 * For now, we know it's done by the implementation, and we assume
53 * that the name of the library is "awt". -br.
