I was hoping someone on this list might be able to answer these
questions:
a) will Java under Leopard be 64-bit?
b) are there any implications for loading JNI libs (e.g. must their
bitness match that of the loading process, must only use 64-bit
system frameworks, etc.)?
c) will there be a way to tell in a JNLP file whether a 32-bit or 64-
bit binary for a JNI library is required (e.g. unique values for
os.arch)?
I understand that WWDC attendees and seed release holders are bound
by NDA, but I'm hoping someone from Apple can publicly answer these
basic, high-level questions. I am asking because our app makes use of
significant numbers of JNI libraries that access a variety of system
frameworks -- if we need to do any significant rework (like rewriting
the ones that use known 32-bit frameworks like the C QuickTime API)
we want to know about it sooner, rather than later. We also have a
scheduled release coming up before "Spring, 2007", which would be an
ideal time to deploy any changes we need to make to support Leopard,
but I don't think we'll see Leopard via the normal seeds before we
need to freeze for that release.
