If the 7.5 java api is 100% native java, what are the dependencies that keep
it from running within a 64-bit jvm?  I understand there are some 32-bit
native libraries that are used for backwards compatibility, but is there an
option to tell the jvm to not load those native libraries, meaning no
backwards compatibility?

Thanks,
Axton Grams
