    Loads library from current JAR archive The file from JAR is copied into system temporary directory and then loaded. The temporary file is deleted after exiting. Method uses String as filename because the pathname is "abstract", not system-dependent.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - The path of file inside JAR as absolute path (beginning with '/'), e.g. /package/File.ext
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If temporary file creation or read/write operation fails
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If source file (param path) does not exist
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the path is not absolute or if the filename is shorter than three characters (restriction of File.createTempFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)).
    
    java.io.FileNotFoundException - If the file could not be found inside the JAR.
