checklist for 64-bit java on Linux

Let's you examine, for example, whether infrastructure folks really provisioned the correct setup.

Java 64-bit checklist

1. check if hardware is 64-bit capable by looking for lm flag

grep -l 'flags.*\<lm\>' /proc/cpuinfo

2. check if kernel is 64-bit

getconf LONG_BIT | grep '64'

3. check if java is 64-bit (simply look for 64-bit in output - if present, then it is, if absent, then it is 32-bit)

find which of the zip files contains the file you're searching for

This command find which of your zip (or jar) files (when you have lots of them) contains a file you're searching for. It's useful when you have a lot of zip (or jar) files and need to know in which of them the file is archived.

It's most common with .jar files when you have to know which of the .jar files contains the java class you need.

To find in jar files, you must change "zip" to "jar" in the "find" command. The [internal file name] must be changed to the file name you're searching that is archived into one of the zip/jar files.

Before run this command you must step into the directory that contains the zip or jar files.
