Description dlipin 2008-08-11 12:06:01 UTC

First check java bitness : isCurrentJava64Bit();

If it returns false, then do system-dependent checks.

Windows: 
IsWow64Process();

Linux:
'uname -m' == (x86_64, amd64, ppc64...)
Alternative : 'uname -i', 'umame -p', 'getconf LONG_BIT'

Solaris i386:
'isainfo -k' == amd64

Solaris sparc (64bit):
'isainfo -k' == sparcv9

Mac OS X:
no known way yet.

AIX: 'getconf KERNEL_BITMODE' (returns 64, not yet checked on 32bit systems)

Comment 2 dlipin 2008-09-01 16:58:28 UTC

HP-UX: 'getconf KERNEL_BITS' (returns 64)
