Could I get the following webrev for 7u4 reviewed please?

It is the same code change as for jdk 8 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/7134701/webrev.7u4.1/ Thanks, Michael. I've updated the webrev for this 7u4 change, based on the testing yesterday. It simplifies the original jdk 8 change (which will be updated via CR 7157665) So, if an attempt to load a library whose name is X.dylib fails we retry with the name X.jnilib

The following examples show the main cases:

System.loadLibrary("foo") -> libfoo.dylib, then libfoo.jnilib (tried in each directory of the boot library path and user library path respectively)

System.load("/abs/path/libfoo.dylib") -> /abs/path/libfoo.dylib, then /abs/path/libfoo.jnilib System.load("/abs/path/libfoo.jnilib") -> /abs/path/libfoo.jnilib System.load("/abs/path/libfoo.bar") -> /abs/path/libfoo.bar

System.mapLibraryName("foo") -> "libfoo.dylib"

As before, this change only affects the behavior on Mac OS X.

Thanks, Michael
