Got this mail from Sun recently:

Dear Java community,
You are receiving this email because you have either voted for or added a watch to one of our most wanted features in Java SE: 64-bit Java Plug-In (Bug ID: 4802695).
This is a one-time email notification, and we usually do not contact voters and watchers about bug fixes in early access releases; however, given the popularity of this feature, we have decided to spread this news: 64-bit Java Plug-In will be available in Java SE 6 Update 12.
Although 6u12 has not officially released yet, you can download the early access version and try it yourself. Send us your feedback at http://bugreport.sun.com or post your comments at 6uN Early Access Forum.
Thank you,
Java Developer Support Team
Sun Microsystems
