// Do not load jawt.dll (part of JRE) here explicitly because
// the FlatLaf native library flatlaf.dll may be loaded very early on Windows
// (e.g. from class com.formdev.flatlaf.util.SystemInfo) and before AWT is
// initialized (and awt.dll is loaded). Loading jawt.dll also loads awt.dll.
// In Java 8, loading jawt.dll before AWT is initialized may load
// a wrong version of awt.dll if a newer Java version (e.g. 19)
// is in PATH environment variable. Then Java 19 awt.dll and Java 8 awt.dll
// are loaded at same time and calling JAWT_GetAWT() crashes the application.
//
// To avoid this, flatlaf.dll is not linked to jawt.dll,
// which avoids loading jawt.dll when flatlaf.dll is loaded.
// Instead flatlaf.dll dynamically loads jawt.dll when first used,
// which is guaranteed after AWT initialization.
