Recently purchased Solaris 7 (SPARC) from Sun. We are using a large object
cache which requires using more memory than is available with the current JVM's. 

When will a JVM be available which makes use of Solaris 7's 64-bit memory addressing.

Kind Regards,

Manoj.

EVALUATION We plan to provide 64-bit support at least for Solaris in the Merlin release. For this release, 64-bit support means the ability to work with 64-bit applications and libraries, to use > 4 gigabyte heaps, etc. It does not mean modifying the JVM design or other APIs to remove all 32-bit limitations of current designs or libraries. For instance, Merlin plans do not include raising the current 32-bit limitation on array length; that might require disruptive modifications to the JVM. However, if any APIs such as JNI currently have limitations that would prevent their being used in 64-bit environments, those limitations must be addressed in Merlin. timothy.lindholm@Eng 2000-03-09
