  Java Access Bridge 2.0.2, for which an Early Access release is
    currently available at http://jdk6.java.net/6uNea.html, is indeed
    aimed at providing support for Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. We will
    provide more details as we get closer to our final release date, but
    in the meantime feel free to test this Early Access and provide
    feedback.

    

    Thanks,

          Hi
              Sailesh,
          Â 
          I
              was speaking specifically to version 2.02 of the JAB that
              was posted to Early Access at the link I referenced below.
              I didnâ¬"t see any announcements about it posted to this
              list.
          Â 
          Thanks.

          Sam,
          Here is a response from Peter (mid-2010):

              Bridge and Windows 7
          Â 
          Hi Anders,

            

          
          What version of Java Access Bridge can I
            use If I have Windows 7 operating system on my computer
            (please send me information about 32 and 64-bit)? 
          

            The latest version of the Java Access Bridge - version 2.0.1
            - is not designed to install or work properly on Windows 7
            environments, nor on 64-bit environments.  There are reports
            of hand-installation working on 32-bit Windows 7 with
            security privileges turned off, but we haven't verified
            those.

            

          
          Will you still develope Java Access
            Bridge (I means that the newest version of Java Access
            Bridge is one year old)? 
          

            Oracle has made no announcements about a release date for a
            new version of the Java Access Bridge.  The bridge is
            something Oracle products utilize, and addressing the
            shortcomings of version 2.0.1 is important for Oracle as
            well.
