How to unload library (DLL) from the JVM
I need to unload a DLL that was loaded with System.loadLibrary(..), anyone know if this is possible?
Solution 1:
I don't have any experience of this, but a bit of digging shows that the library should be unloaded when the classloader which loaded the library is garbage collected.
