32-bit support is very useful for research purposes - I would definitely
welcome having it back. Otherwise it means having to also have Java 6
available, just for testing purposes.

Hi to all,
I tested Oracle Java 7 for OSX today (Developper Preview release b21
based on u4).
I could see a 32/64bits aware JVM is available (-d32/-d64 &
-XX:+UseCompressedOop) whereas it's no more case for OpenJDK 7 since
Mac OSX Port has been merged into u4 branch.
Putting back 32/64bits support in OpenJDK 7 for OSX was a point
discussed many time on this list and macosx-port list but is still in
pending state.
Since it appears to be technically possible, could we have feedbacks
and informations on how to bring dual mode VM to stock OpenJDK7 for
OSX ?
Cheers
