Where does eclipse look for binary libraries in plugins?

I have an eclipse plugin (developed by a third party, without source code) that uses a binary library to do some of its work. The library is open source. The distributed plugin only includes the binary for Windows, but I can easily compile it for other platforms. I cannot figure out where to place the library so that it is raised. I am currently working on OS X, but Linux is also a problem.

The Windows library is placed in eclipse / plugins / plugin_name / os / win32 / x86. I tried using os / macosx / x86_64 (which corresponds to the constants in org.eclipse.osgi.service.environments) and many other options, but nothing works, and I can not find any documentation on how eclipse sets the library path.

Where should I put the libraries in the subdirectory of the plugin so that eclipse downloads them for the appropriate platform?

Binary libraries (for example, .dll) can be integrated inside the JAR plugin itself. In this case, it is probably located in the file / os / win 32 / x86 / thelib.dll.

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF ( jar), "Bundle-NativeCode". :

Bundle-NativeCode: /os/win32/x86;osname=win32;processor=x86

OS X :

Bundle-NativeCode: /os/win32/x86;osname=win32;processor=x86, /os/osx/x86; osname=macosx;processor=x86

OS X libs , rezip , !
