Forcing 64 bit jvm to 32 bit jvm?

Would anyone please give me ideas about forcing 64 bit jvm to run as 32-bit jvm?

I need to write a jse desktop application for bluetooth connection. For that i need to implement Bluecove jar . It has 32-bit files only. So i included -D32 under VM arguments in eclipse pulsar. But still i am getting the same error that displayed before adding the argument: bluecove_x64.dll missing. I tried with -d32, and it showed me "unrecognized option: d32".

And it seems like i should install a 32-bit jvm that would run on 64-bit os. So, can anyone please tell me what exactly should i install? Java SDK in 32-bit or Eclipse software?

Thanks in advance!

if it is a shortcut you can right click and choose "open file location". Then right click the program, then click properties then go to the compatibility tab. Then check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:". Then choose which OS version to run it in compatibility mode for.

Yes, you can have both x64 bit and x32 bit Java installed. They won't create conflicts with with each other, as they're tied to the type of browser you're using.

Is JVM 32 or 64 bit?

Client JVM is only available for 32-bit JVM and not for 64-bit.

Switching modes is only possible on Solaris. A JVM is either 64bit or 32bit, except on Solaris where both run modes are available in a single JVM.

But anyway, if you don't need more than 4Gig Ram, install the 32bit JVM also on 64bit Systems, because it is 10-15% faster and needs less memory.
