[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR: 8168503 JEP 297: Unified arm32/arm64 Port

[Bob Vandette]

I’d prefer to use something like these System properties.

"java.vendor"	JRE vendor name
"java.vendor.url"	JRE vendor URL

 or to add something to the “release” file.

HOTSPOT_ARCH_DIR=arm

or 

HOTSPOT_ARCH_DIR=aarch64

Bob.
