Corrrect me if I'm wrong, but here's my understanding of the endianness:
1. the java classes (such as DataInputStream) do things big-endianedly
2. the jvm is responsible for hiding the endianness of the platform
3. as a result of (2) there is nothing a 100% java app can do to determine
the endianness of the platform it's being run on.
