Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/jdk9/webrevs/8175819/webrev.00/
... This shows the old and new value of OSNAME/OSARCH properties in the
releasefile: JDK 8 JDK 9 ----- ----- OSNAME Linux linux SunOS solaris Darwin osx Windows windows OSARCH i386,x86 x86 i586,amd64,x8664 x64 sparcv9 sparcv9 arm arm32 aarch64 arm64
I suggest we use "amd64" instead of "x64" (or any other variants). "x64" is confusingly close to "x86", and while it's used by some companies (including Oracle), it's not used all that widely. "amd64" is better known, matches the long-standing value of the "os.arch" system property (on Linux and Windows, anyway) and, as a side benefit, honors the originators of the architecture.
