Hello Joe, Martin, et. al.,
In JDK8, solaris 32-bit support was removed entirely, this is the only
platform that required
dual-mode support, ie. 32-bit and 64-bit binaries co-located in the
same binary hierarchy
on the disk. In JDK 8 the DUAL_MODE support was disabled in the
launcher, using compile
time conditionals, however in JDK9 we wish to remove the logic
entirely, this is messy and
makes the launcher cleaner and easier to maintain.
