You can deal with endianess in native code not in Java
code. I think that system dependent stuffs should not be
dealt with in Java code.

See the following code from GNU libc,
  #undef LITTLE_ENDIAN
  #undef BIG_ENDIAN
  #if defined(__i386__) || defined(__alpha__) \
        || (defined(__mips__) && (defined(MIPSEL) || defined (__MIPSEL__)))
  # define LITTLE_ENDIAN
  #elif defined(__mc68000__) || defined (__sparc__) || defined (__PPC__) \
        || (defined(__mips__) && (defined(MIPSEB) || defined (__MIPSEB__)))
  # define BIG_ENDIAN
  #else
  # error architecture not supported by the Linux C library
  #endif
