Current Java SE6 preview is only available for Intel 64-bit machine.
Will Java SE6 official release have 32-bit version? That is, we can call our 32-bit C/C++ application codes by JNI from Java. But if only 64-bit is available, we must switch our application codes from 32-bit to 64-bit.

I think, in general, it would be a really good idea for everyone to convert their JNI libraries to be 3-way Universal. You should start passing "-arch ppc -arch x86_64 -arch i386" to your build commands. Java 5 already supports Intel 64-bit, so you can start testing it on Leopard right away.

... if you have a 64 bit processor. People whose latest buy has been one of the first generations of the MBP (but not only) are prevented from doing it, in spite of having hardware which is not two years old yet. Doesn't sound good to me.

Obviously I was talking of Java _6_ (preview), not Java _5_. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
