+1 to Andreas. Sounds like a plan.
There seems to be some disagreement on what (3), the dialog message,
should be. It is likely that should be agreed first, since (1) will
depend on it. That there are only possible mismatches on x64
Windows/Mac operating systems (or any others that run both x86 and x64
binaries) needs to be clear. Not in the message. I don't see making
the message even more complicated about lore that will be even more
confusing to casual users.
For (1), the java.html page, I think we can address the concern by
Andreas Säger by keeping the java.html page simple and providing
progressive disclosure of specific details on supplementary pages if
necessary. That means more page-translation work, so I suggest that
java.html be kept straightforward and as simple as possible (but no
simpler, of course, and definitely accurate) first.
OK, then first a developer has to sort this out before we can go on.
For me it's fine.

Subject: Re: Java 32
[ ... ]
My suggestion (can be executed as a team, not necessarily by one
person):
1. Find a proper wording for
http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/java.html
The crux of this problem is that Windows AOO is 32 bit and therefore
requires a 32-bit jvm. I will change java.html to note this.
2. Create a link www.openoffice.org/java pointing at it
3. Find a short (short!) text for the dialog box, sending the people to
www.openoffice.org/java for any details (including 32 and 64-bit
systems); I don't know if links are supported, but the short URL at 2
should take care of it
4. Place #3 in form of a patch in Bugzilla and send the number here (and
if the patch comes from someone who is not one of the usual code
committers, even better)
5. At that point it will be easy for people who have their own build
tree to check the patch before we get it in, so don't worry about this.

Also,
When attempting to run an UNO client Java application on a system using
Java 64 bit you receive an error:
"Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform"
This message probably comes from Java but it may be useful to mention it
because the end user may not be aware.
Unfortunately there is no way to get the user from that error to the
java.html page.
Thanks,

hmmm...This should be mentioned in the Development Guide I would think.

I was thinking of the end user of a client application that may know
nothing about development.
