libjavaswarm.so names a bunch of shared libraries as dependencies.
_activity_current is in libactivity.so.  Maybe there is something
different about the way FreeBSD handles these dependencies.

"ldd libjavaswarm.so" will tell you what dependencies exist.

Windows has a different model for dynamic libraries.  
All symbols must be resolved in a single file, whereas with Unix (e.g. ELF)
much is done at runtime.
