If previously those libraries were finding those files automatically
through some relative path or your were telling the libraries where to
find those files using a relative path that relative path will now be
broken.  I do not know the API for those libraries from your example but
if you know how to tell those libraries where to find a config file you
can determine a real file system path to point them to.  Here is an
example that sets up the system property to find a .dll for JNI usage
(with non relevant code removed - so even though this comes from a working
system I have not compiled this exact snippet).

1 // Get the bundle object
2 Bundle bundle = MyPlugin.getDefault ().getBundle ();
3  
4 //  Find the lib directory
5 String libDirectoryPath = null;
6 URL bundleLocation = bundle.getEntry ("/lib");
7 try {
8  //  Resolve the URL
9  URL libURL = Platform.resolve (bundleLocation);
10  File libDirectory = new File (libURL.getFile ());
11  libDirectoryPath = libDirectory.toString ();
12
13  //  Add the lib directory to the system's library path
14  String systemLibraryPath = System.getProperty ("java.library.path");
15  StringBuffer newLibraryPath = new StringBuffer (libDirectoryPath);
16  newLibraryPath.append (File.pathSeparator).append (systemLibraryPath);
17  System.setProperty ("java.library.path", newLibraryPath.toString());
18 }  catch (Exception e)  {
19  // Report the problem some how
20 }

At line 6 the path for getEntry is relative to your plug-in's root.  So
your congif files need to be in a top level directory under your plug-in. 
After you resolve your location as in line 9 the URL now points to the
file in a way that will allow you to get a file path.
