Hi Matthias,

I was not aware that Ubuntu distributed a standalone JavaFX library, so 
yes that explains the problem.

I will file an RFE to add the native / class file versioning checks that 
you mentioned, but that's likely to be a bit of work, since I think it 
would be worth doing only if done as part of the initial load library in 
such a way that when it fails, it considers it a failed load (and moves 
on to the next method of finding the libraries (although there is still 
some value in early detection and a thrown exception with a reasonable 
error message versus the crash that happens today).

I think the best short-term solution is your suggestion of changing the 
order of precedence such that System.loadLibrary is last, which is more 
in keeping with what we do when running the SDK: the libraries 
associated with the class files should be used in preference to the 
system libraries.
