Actually the jar archives still should run on both systems. However the 
architecture dependend (native) libs need to be located in their respective 
dirs. That should magically work with either jdk (if both native libs are 
installed) as long as the jar archives can be found. They should be the same 
so also located at the same location.

I guess the trick is to see where the installation scripts for the package 
install it.
