Hi,

I'm working on moving a Scala library for accessing sqlite3 to Buildr. As this library wraps the C interface to sqlite3, it contains some JNI code. On MacOS, the only way to pick up a JNI library is to add it to the current directory, or to pass a java.library.path property to the JVM. I took a look at lib/buildr/scala/shell.rb, and it doesn't look like there's any way to pass properties to the JVM when involving the Scala shell. (At least, not in version 1.4.3.)

I also tried to use ScalaTest with my project, and I added this line to the buildfile:

test.using :properties => { "java.library.path" => "target/native" }

But that doesn't seem to pick up the library, either.

If I run this from the command line, it works fine:

scala -classpath target/classes -Djava.library.path=target/native Test

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance, Sean
