------------------------------------------
Very sorry about that!
> Constants check for JRE bitness causes SecurityException under WebStart

> Key: LUCENE-7135
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7135
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core/other
> Affects Versions: 5.5
> Environment: OS X 10.11.4, Java 1.8.0_77-b03 (under WebStart)
> Reporter: Aaron Madlon-Kay
> Fix For: master (7.0), 6.3, 5.5.4
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-7135.diff
>
>
> I have an app that I deploy via WebStart that uses Lucene 5.2.1 (we are
> locked to 5.2.1 because that's what [LanguageTool|https://languagetool.org/]
> uses).
> When running under the WebStart security manager, there are two locations
> where exceptions are thrown and prevent pretty much all Lucene classes from
> initializing. This is true even when we sign everything and specify
> {{<security><all-permissions/></security>}}.
> # In {{RamUsageEstimator}}, fixed by LUCENE-6923
> # In {{Constants}}, caused by the call
> {{System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model")}} (stack trace below).
> {code}
> Error: Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
> ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "sun.arch.data.model" "read")
> Error: at

> The latter is still present in the latest version. My patch illustrates one
> solution that appears to be working for us.
> (This patch, together with a backport of the fix to LUCENE-6923, seems to fix
> the issue for our purposes. However if you really wanted to make my day you
> could put out a maintenance release of 5.2 with both fixes included.)
