This seems to have been implemented in Java 8 [2]. So I hope, that all future Java 8 builds (Java SE, Java SE embedded) will provide sun.arch.abi on arm. However, with the current version of Java SE embedded (7u45), sun.arch.abi does not seem to exist. Is there a chance that the changes to provide sun.arch.abi will be backported to Java 7? I know, that there are other possibilities to check whether the JVM is armel/armhf [3], but I don't like the complexity of these solutions.
