I'm currently working on Java bindings for my own native library. (I'd like to use the Panama FFM API, but unfortunately, my first user is stuck on JDK 11 for now, so I'm stuck with JNI.) Do you have any recommendations on how I should handle the packaging and library loading problem, so I don't make things worse for Conveyor (though my first user isn't using that)? Any reference implementation that I should look at and copy?

It just means being compatible with library extraction: https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/10.1/configs/jvm/#native-code https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/10.1/configs/jvm/#native-code So it's really easy. Just run System.loadLibrary("foo") before doing anything else. On developer setups that line will throw because the JVM won't find the shared library, so then you can go down the road of extracting things to the homedir or whatever else you want to do (or do it manually and check in the results). Deployed installs will find the library in the right platform specific directories inside the app package and pass.
