The Mach-o file format always specifies the architecture of the executable text, and it has always had the accommodation for multiple architectures even back to the NeXT days.

Often it is easier to just refer to either 32 or 64-bit, implying Intel-only, since "universal" is a bit of a marketing term which was introduced during the PPC to Intel transition.

Let's go back to 32/64 bits support on JDK7.
Support for 32bits has been removed some weeks ago (from macosx-port
to jdk7u-osx and now jdk7u).
