Java HotSpot Virtual Machine

my C++ function uses Windows Libraries... checking Code Blocks, i found out that the Linker uses gdi32.lib, user32.lib and kernel32.lib. the C++ application runs fine by itself (as an .exe).

anyway, when i didnt include the libraries in my CPP project for JNI, it compiles sucessfully. however, when i wanna use the method that does the JNI function, the application gives me the following Exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: GUI.RefreshDesktop.refreshDesktop()V

so, i thought i needed to include these libraries in my Java class as well.

class RefreshDesktop{
	static{
		System.load("libRefreshDesktopCPP.dll"); //don't worry about the pathing. :D
		System.load("Gdi32.Lib");
		System.load("User32.Lib");
		System.load("Kernel32.Lib");
	}

	public static void refresh(){
		new RefreshDesktop().refreshDesktop();
	}

	private native void refreshDesktop();
}

however, upon execution, i get the Exception:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Gdi32.Lib: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

when i tried to link these libraries in the Linker in the C++ project, i get errors saying those files cannot be found, even though i used absolute path.


so, how do i make this stuff work?
