It seems so.

$ otool -L libjpl.dylib
libjpl.dylib:
	/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/JavaVM (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	/Users/pmoura/lib/swipl-7.1.10/lib/x86_64-darwin13.1.0/libswipl.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 7.1.10)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1)
	/opt/local/lib/libgcc/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

I tried it but I didn't find any libjvm.dylib library on the Java 7 installation. It may go by a different name. Tried to link instead to libjava.dylib but it didn't work.

Thanks for your feedback. Cheers,
