Using skype-java-api on a x64 system

I'm using skype-java-api to use skype in Java. The only feature that i need is to dial phone numbers on click. It works fine on windows XP x86, but i just tested it on a Windows 7 x64, and it fails. The error is:
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\Vazdautan\AppData\Local\Temp\skype.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform
Are there any other cross-platform alternatives(for MAC and Windows) or is it possible to solve it somehow ?

Thanks, Andrew.

Solution

  • You can run a 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit OS.

    If you want to run a 64-bit JVM, you can use this to run a 32-bit JVM either as a service or on an ad-hoc basis.e.g. With Runtime.exec()

    Or Skype provide a 64-bit DLL in which case I would just use that.
