Precisely. I'm suggesting that you support the standard method for requesting a 64bit JVM. I'll probably leave any enhancement request to MacroVision since I hope to soon be once again agnostic about MacOS specifics.

One issue that came up was that an app that has -d64 in the VMOptions field would fail to launch on Tiger since Java on Tiger does not understand -d64 and would just fail. So you wouldn't be able to deploy the same app on Tiger and Leopard. By having a separate VMArchs key, the same app can continue to run on Tiger (in 32-bit) while running in 64-bit (if possible) on Leopard.


Pratik

Unless you released a Java update for Tiger which silently ignores the -d64 flag. Perhaps in the final version of Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 6 for which we received DP 1 last month?
