Sorry, but isn't the whole idea of Java to provide a language implementation
that CAN NOT be made hardware specific, by means of the inherent language
design? Write once and run anywhere, or?
If I can manage to write a piece of software in such a language that makes it
run on one platform but not on others, then the language design has failed, in
particular if that was one of the core issues it meant to solve and do away
with.
Java doesn't control the platform. If the platform is broken, so is
Java. And once stuff like JNI is involved, all bets are off.
