Nice allow user manually load the native library

Hi,

Nice if you are able to allow users to load the native library manually. Thanks

This is not how this library was designed to work. Do you have a specific use-case for this reason to better understand the request?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes, this is due to the IT requirement which limits app access to Windows system folder...

Thanks ya

Gotcha.

Please try starting up your Java application by prepending -Djava.io.tmpdir=/your/tmp/path to your startup call. As an example:

java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/Users/hedgecrw -jar jSerialComm-2.8.0-test.jar

This should allow you to specify which "temporary" file folder is used by jSerialComm to extract its native DLL.

On Windows, it seems like Java may not respect this flag (but please try it first), but you may be able to achieve the same result by setting the TMP environment variable (either through the Settings->System Properties->Environment Variables GUI or via SET TMP=C:\Users\hedgecrw in a command terminal).

These instructions have been updated in both the jSerialComm README as well as the Troubleshooting Wiki.
