Question about JDK-8024281 Mac OS X: stop relying on Apple's JavaVM Frameworks

[Michael Hall]

Probably David should answer, but I think the short answer is yes.

I tried to track down discussion of the issues I had during the port. For some background discussion on a longer answer…

Although I didn’t find any specific reference to the bug report I had. I also didn’t think jnilib was that Apple specific. But the discussions seem to have it that way. 

I think for now dylib would probably just be much preferred?
