Will the future Java3D version 1.3 support 64-bit operations on the Sun J2SDK 1.4.0? Is this a concern? I couldn't find anything about in the spec.
Below I've excerpted a relevant passage from Sun's New Features and Enhancements for JDK 1.4 (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/relnotes/features.html) The SolarisTM-SPARCTM platform edition of J2SDK 1.4.0 will support 64-bit operation on 64-bit Sparc-v9 platforms when using the Java HotSpot Server VM. With a 64-bit address space, more than four gigabytes of heap memory is available. The Java HotSpot Server VM includes support for both 32-bit and 64-bit operations, and users can select either 32-bit or 64-bit operation by using command-line flags -d32 or -d64, respectively. Users of the Java Native Interface will need to recompile their code to be able to run it on the 64-bit VM. There is no 64-bit support for the Java HotSpot Client VM. Only the Java HotSpot Server VM provides for optional 64-bit operation. Users must install 64-bit Solaris support in order to run the virtual machine in 64-bit mode. On older Sparcv9 systems, users must modify the file /platform/sun4u/boot.conf in order to enable 64-bit programs. See the text in the boot.conf file for more information. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
