Can't load SWT library as regular user

Hi all,

I installed swt from AUR.

When I run java -classpath /usr/share/java/swt.jar my.jar as root it works fine, but when I run it as a regular user it says it can't find the library.

These are the permissions

% ls -lha /usr/share/java/swt*     
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   12 Dec 28 14:10 /usr/share/java/swt.jar -> swt-4.21.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M Dec 28 14:10 /usr/share/java/swt-4.21.jar

Why is that? I'd expect Java to be able to read and load that JAR as a regular user.

Re: Can't load SWT library as regular user

Weird. What version of java do you use and do root and the regular user run the same java executable?
