Difference between System.load() and System.loadLibrary in Java

The difference is there in the API documentation. System.loadLibrary(String libname) lets you load from the default path — The Java library path.

The other System.load(String filename) lets you load it from an absolute path, which you must specify as your filename.

If you don’t want to mess with you java.library.path environment variable, you should use System.load()
