Sometimes there is a need to include some native libraries in contribution. Fabric3 offers easy and efficient way how to do it. All it needs to be done is include them in sca-contribution.xml file:
sca-contribution.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<contribution xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912" xmlns:f3="urn:fabric3.org">
<f3:library path="META-INF/native/sigar-x86-winnt.lib">
<os name="Windows" processor="x86"/>
</f3:library>
<f3:library path="META-INF/native/sigar-x86-winnt.dll">
<os name="Windows" processor="x86"/>
</f3:library>
<f3:library path="META-INF/native/sigar-amd64-winnt.dll">
<os name="Windows" processor="x86-64"/>
</f3:library>
<f3:library path="META-INF/native/libsigar-amd64-linux.so">
<os name="Linux" processor="x86-64"/>
</f3:library>
<f3:library path="META-INF/native/libsigar-universal64-macosx.dylib">
<os name="Mac OS X" processor="x86-64"/>
</f3:library>
</contribution>
Libraries needs to be in respective directories (e.g. META-INF/native). When runtime is booted, fabric3 copy the respective libraries (depending on os, architecture, ...) to tmp/native dir in runtime directory and set the JVM library path to include those libraries.
