  16.      * This is copied from java.awt.Toolkit since we need the library

  17.      * loaded in sun.awt.image also:

  18.      *

  19.      * WARNING: This is a temporary workaround for a problem in the

  20.      * way the AWT loads native libraries. A number of classes in this

  21.      * package (sun.awt.image) have a native method, initIDs(),

  22.      * which initializes

  23.      * the JNI field and method ids used in the native portion of

  24.      * their implementation.

  25.      *

  26.      * Since the use and storage of these ids is done by the

  27.      * implementation libraries, the implementation of these method is

  28.      * provided by the particular AWT implementations

  29.      * (i.e. "Toolkit"s/Peer), such as Motif, Win32 or Tiny. The

  30.      * problem is that this means that the native libraries must be

  31.      * loaded by the java.* classes, which do not necessarily know the

  32.      * names of the libraries to load. A better way of doing this

  33.      * would be to provide a separate library which defines java.awt.*

  34.      * initIDs, and exports the relevant symbols out to the

  35.      * implementation libraries.

  36.      * 

  37.      * For now, we know it's done by the implementation, and we assume

  38.      * that the name of the library is "awt".  -br.
