Ah, you really thought so?

I figured "...../server/" meaning
  <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/<arch>/server   (for the 64bit systems)
or  "..../client/" meaning
  <JAVA_HOME>/jre/lib/<arch>/client   (for 32bit)
would be clear enough.
Not so, then. Sorry, I hope it's clear now.

Still I wonder what the reason is for the JVM residing in ...../server/ 
rather than ..../client/ in 64 bit systems.
