Just to clarify - Kaffe finds and loads the native library without  
troubles, but the C library has trouble finding my custom Java  
classes, which are located in phidgets.jar, unless I put phidgets.jar  
in the same place as rt.jar - I would have expected that adding  
phidgets.jar to CLASSPATH would make this jar file (the classes that  
it contains) visible to the C library (findClass).

Thanks
