+|When the VM loads an application native library (DLL), it searches for the library in the path that is specified in the `java.library.path` system property or in the following environment variables:<ul><li>`LIBPATH` - z/OS&reg; and AIX&reg;</li><li>`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` - Linux&reg;<li>`PATH` - Windows&trade;</li></ul><br>In Java 11 and earlier versions, the VM searched for the application native libraries by using both the `java.library.path` system property and the environment variable.<br>From Java 17 onwards, the search is based on only the `java.library.path` system property value that is obtained when the VM starts. Changing the `java.library.path` system property value after VM startup doesn't change the search. If the path is set on the command line by using the `-Djava.library.path` option, only this path is used for the search. The path that is specified by the environment variable is not used to search for the application native libraries.<br>The default value of the `java.library.path` system property is still derived from the environment variable.  |  0.29.1   |
