Yes, but I prefer a more direct route! :-)  an extra line in build.xml
or equivalent.  Also, I don't see the point in keeping the 64 on the
end anyway.

> My biggest unknown is if there is a fundamental need for one or the other. Naive question is fx. if the 32 bit app.exe is happy to launch a 64 bit JVM based RCP app - what purpose does the app64.exe have ?

Well, I mentioned one - getting the app.exe to launch a 64-bit JVM
starts a whole new process.  This can be a problem.

Best wishes,

Neil
