I have tried both System.load and System.loadSystem. Apparently the problem is how the abcl is initiated:
Following @Alessio suggestion, that is, using abcl.jar in the classpath and start the org.arbedbear.lisp.Main, it works:
urca:java arademaker$ java -Djava.library.path=. -cp freeling.jar:/usr/local/abcl-bin-1.1.1/abcl.jar org.armedbear.lisp.Main Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.1.1 Java 1.6.0_51 Apple Inc. Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM Low-level initialization completed in 0.494 seconds. Startup completed in 2.187 seconds. Loading /Users/arademaker/.abclrc completed in 9.59 seconds. Type ":help" for a list of available commands. CL-USER(1): (jstatic "loadLibrary" "java.lang.System" "freeling_javaAPI") NIL CL-USER(2): (jnew "edu.upc.freeling.MacoOptions" "en") #<edu.upc.freeling.MacoOptions edu.upc.freeling.MacoOptions@716.... {11ACBF5C}>
But following my original way, that is, start abcl using the -jar option, it fails!! Why is that? What is the right way to start ABCL?
urca:java arademaker$ java -Djava.library.path=. -cp freeling.jar:. -jar /usr/local/abcl-bin-1.1.1/abcl.jar Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.1.1 Java 1.6.0_51 Apple Inc.
