JMonkeyEngine (tested applications: JMonkeyPlatform SDK, Mythruna) which
is based on lwjgl is not affected by this bug since it works with
neither OpenJDK7 nor Oracle's JDK7.

jDownloader shows an Exception Stack Trace on start that libsoftokn3.so
could not be found, but with all tested JVMs (OpenJDK 6, OpenJDK7 and
Oracle's JDK 7). It keeps on starting anyway.

Under certain circumstances Eclipse-based applications get memory leaks
when this bug occurs (and run out of Memory in less than 10 seconds even
if 800MB were free before).

related package: libnss3 (containing libsoftokn3.so )
libnss3 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu2 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu natty, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/amd64/libnss3/3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu2

libnss3 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu4 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu oneiric,
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/libnss3/3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu4

How about creating a symlink when installing libnss3 or openjdk-7 package?
I created a symlink from /usr/lib/x86_86-linux-gnu/nss/libsoftokn3.so to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoftokn3.so which fixed my problem for Natty and Oneiric (both with Oneiric version of libnss3 installed). Please note that libsoftokn3.so is located in another directory in libnss3 package for Natty.
Another way of fixing this bug is editing source code of openjdk-7, but I don't know how.

Title:
  path resolving issue: libsoftokn3.so not found, maybe affecting other
  native libraries

Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  OpenJDK 7 (b147 amd64 from Oneiric Alpha PPA) sometimes shows strange path resolving behavior. 2 ways to reproduce it:
  This bug is not present in (and does not affect):
  - Oracle's JDK7 b147 (only testet on natty)
  - OpenJDK 6 (6b22)

  Affects at least: Natty amd64, Oneiric amd64

  1. With Eclipse 3.7 (from eclipse.org), 3.6 (from eclipse.org), 3.5.2 (from Natty default PPA, not for Oneiric since it does not start in oneiric because of swt dependencie issue)
  1.1 Open Eclipse-based application
  1.2 Open "Help ⇒ About Eclipse"
  1.3 Open "Configuration Details" or "Plugin Details"
  1.4 Error dialog opens, error Message details:
  _______
  An internal error occurred during: "org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.AboutPluginsDialog".
  Library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoftokn3.so does not exist
  _______
  This file really does not exist in this folder, but in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss and /usr/lib32/nss .
  Starting Eclipse from other openjdk/oracle JRE this problem does not occurr.
  For further details see attached files.

  This affects RSSOwl (based on Eclipse 3.4) and some Eclipse Plugins
  (like UML LAB http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/uml-lab ) as well
  as other Eclipse RCP based Software.

  Eclipse 3.5.2 from Natty default PPA shows a little different
  behavior: "Plugin Details" is displayed without error message,
  "Configuration Details" tab is empty (no content but there must be
  one).

  
  2. Minecraft does not find the same file ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoftokn3.so ), see attachment

  
  All problems described here do not occurr on openjdk6 or oracle's JDK 7.

  I have noticed a similar problem with jMonkeyEngine (JMonkeyPlatform
  SDK, Mythruna) but am not sure if these problems are related. I'll
  keep investigating ;).
