Question

Answer 1

Java doesn't build 32-bit or 64-bit applications - bytecode is portable across different bit architectures.

The only exception is native libraries that you might be using in your code. If there are any then you will have to manually compile those for the respective platform. Otherwise the java code is totally portable across 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
