Hi,
I have tried 1.7.0-ea-b129 and 1.6.0_24-b07 on Solaris 11 and they
both have shown empty "sun.cpu.isalist".
At the same time isalist output is: "amd64 pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro
pentium+mmx pentium i486 i386 i86"
The code that fills "sun.cpu.isalist" on Soliaris/Linux is following
#ifdef SI_ISALIST
/* supported instruction sets */
{
char list[258];
sysinfo(SI_ISALIST, list, sizeof(list));
sprops.cpu_isalist = strdup(list);
}
#else
sprops.cpu_isalist = NULL;
#endif
and in order to use sysinfo(SI_ISALIST) API we have to include header
#include <sys/systeminfo.h>
However this header is not included in java_props_md.c!
So, neither Solaris nor Linux fills "sun.cpu.isalist". Only Windows does.
But again Windows does this slightly differently. It shows
"amd64" on 64bit jre and
"pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro pentium+mmx pentium i486 i386 i86" on 32bit.
I can find only this bug report, which is likely related to the issue.

sun.cpu.isalist property is empty in jinfo
It seems that this property hasn't been not filled properly so long.
Is it hard drop it at all?
Good sleuthing. It looks like jdk5 was the last release to compile in
that code on Solaris. This does support the case for removing it.
