    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.io.File;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.component.EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent;
    import uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.embedded.EmbeddedMediaPlayer;
     
     
     
     
         class PlayerPanel extends JPanel {
     
         private File vlcInstallPath = new File("---------------Path of vlc player (installed) --------------");
         private EmbeddedMediaPlayer player;
     
         public PlayerPanel() {
     
     
            NativeLibrary.addSearchPath("libvlc", vlcInstallPath.getAbsolutePath()); 
             EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent videoCanvas = new EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent();
             this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
             this.add(videoCanvas, BorderLayout.CENTER);
             this.player = videoCanvas.getMediaPlayer();
         }
     
         public void play(String media) {
             player.prepareMedia(media);
             player.parseMedia();
             player.play();
         }
     }
     
     class VideoPlayer extends JFrame {
     
         public VideoPlayer() {
              PlayerPanel player = new PlayerPanel();
              this.setTitle("Swing Video Player");
              this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
              this.setSize(640, 480);
              this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
              this.add(player, BorderLayout.CENTER);
              this.validate();
              this.setVisible(true);
     
             player.play("---------------Path of video we want to play ----------------------");
         }
     
          public static void main(String[] args) {
              new VideoPlayer();
          }
     }


    And plz tell me which path to give for vlc player in ubuntu. there are more than 5 folders with name vlc. one is in /usr/share/ and other is in /etc/ and so on.
