Conor, The sun 64-bit JVM seems available for 1.5.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html I didn't check 1.6. Here's the situation as I see it. In general, the ubuntu (or generic debian) package system only offers you packages with binaries for your current environment. There is an exception for tools that support cross-development between 32 and 64-bit system. In the 64-bit repo, there are a set of 32-bit packages, and vica versa. My request here is to add Java to this set, because it facilitates cross-development of JNI modules. By having 32-bit java on the 64-bit system and the other way around, it is possible to test a JNI module going both ways from one system.
