copied!<p>I think that you are basically stuffed.</p> <p>Yes, it is (in theory at least) possible to block the call <code>System.exit()</code> via a security manager. But what happens then?</p> <ol> <li>Static initializer in class attempts to call <code>System.exit()</code>.</li> <li>SecurityManager says no you can't and throws SecurityException</li> <li>Static initialization of the class fails with uncaught exception</li> <li>Initialization of the class you were originally trying to initialize (implicitly) fails.</li> </ol> <p>You can in theory catch the exception. But that doesn't get you very far, because the JVM will only <strong>attempt</strong> to perform static initialization once. If that fails, and you try again, the JVM will simply throw <code>ClassNotFoundError</code> (I think), repeating the original exception as the cause.</p> <p>The only way to get the class initialization to happen again is to <strong>throw away</strong> the classloader that loaded the offending classes in the first place, create a new one, and start loading again. And then you are back to the original problem.</p> <p>Bottom line: if you really can't change the code, you are stuffed.</p> <hr> <p>Even if you could make this work, it sounds like a poor solution / non-solution to your problem. The LinkageError exception means that the library has failed to load a native library, and that the corresponding <code>native</code> method calls into the library will fail with an <code>Error</code>. At best you'll end up with a library where some bits work and others don't.</p> <p>You should focus on obtaining the right native library for your platform and/or configuring the JVM so that it can find it. Or finding a better alternative to the 3rd-party library that isn't encumbered with intrusive license enforcement crap.</p>
