Consequences

The library(jpl) is used for calling Java from Prolog or embedding Prolog in a Java program. SWI-Prolog has no dependencies on this library, so if you do not intend to mix Java and Prolog in one program there is no reason to take action.

Solutions

MacOS

The MacOS version has been tested with Oracle Java. The interface object, libjpl.dylib needs to have its dependencies pointed at the currently installed Oracle Java version. The dependencies can be updated by running

?- jpl_config_dylib.

This will

1. Find Java from either $JAVA_HOME or by running /usr/libexec/java_home
2. Find libjpl.dylib in the SWI-Prolog library
3. Find its dependencies and locate them in the Java home dir
4. Use /usr/bin/install_name_tool to update the dependency
