Summary: Webstart jnidispatch error on Windows 64-bit

Initial Comment:
"Error on application startup
jnidispatch (/com/sun/jna/win32-amd64/jnidispatch.dll) not found in resource path"

I'm using 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate with as much 64-bit software as possible.
I tried both the stable and beta versions.

Message:
Fixed in SVN (/trunk).

What we have done is catching the exception. I.e., JNA (and hence
Hunspell) will not work in Windows 64-bit, but OmegaT should work, and
spell checking will be handled by JMySpell.

  It's not so simple to catch this exception, since it happen on the
com.sun.jna.Native loading, i.e. in the SpellChecker.java.
  Spell Checker implementtion, like Hunspell or jmyspell should be moved
into separate class.
  Will do it.

Good to know that it's a not a general Webstart issue.

Now, we do use JNA (which uses JNI) to be able to use Hunspell.

At least at some point (see http://trac.mucommander.com/ticket/57), JNA
was not compatible with Windows 64-bit.

We'll try to check if there is an updated version.

If we cannot find a compatible solution, we'll perhaps at least be able to
catch the error, and have the application working (with JMySpell instead of
Hunspell, similarly to what happens when the /native folder is missing/not
working).

Message:
Yes, LanguageTool works fine.

I'd hazard a guess that the problem is with that specific dll/feature and
that not all Web Start/Java applications use it.

Have you been able to use other Webstart software?

For instance LangageTool:
