If their justification is "the one that developers use," then you want the 64-bit installer. No one is intentionally confining themselves to 32-bit these days, except under very specific circumstances (usually non-x86, or embedded, but that's 99% irrelevant to a Java discussion).
Browser plugin issues not-withstanding, of course. But who uses Java in a browser anymore?
- scrumper 14y ago> who uses Java in a browser anymore? Webex and GoToMyPC unfortunately. Makes it rather hard to work from home when those are your corporate standards.
- jtheory 14y agoA decent number of game educational sites, including mine: http://eMusicTheory.com http://eMusicTheory.com -- in a small Java applet, I can process MIDI and audio input, assemble digital audio on-the-fly for output (or use MIDI, but they stopped bundling the sounds), animations, etc. within pretty much any browser starting with IE5 or 6. There's nothing else as powerful AFAIK. Java's security problems seem like they'll kill this off, unfortunately.
