You won't...not from java at least. How you determine endianess will be
platform-dependant. In glibc (and possibly libc5) systems, look at
/usr/include/endian.h (you'll have to have native code for this). This
will be different on other systems (for example, Solaris).
And lo, the chronicles report that Leung Yau Wai spake thusly unto the masses:
