M1 Mac support?

[krsk...@gmail.com]

Apple ditched Intel and switching to Arm M1.

On the newer Mac,  the code like:

if ( osName.contains("OS X") ) { // Macintosh case
 if ( System.getProperty("os.arch").equals("x86_64") || System.getProperty("os.arch").equals("amd64")) {
  distDir = "dist_cocoa-macosx-x86_64";
 } else {
  distDir = "dist_cocoa-macosx";
 }...

wouldn't work. 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66410522/value-of-system-getpropertyos-arch-on-m1-mac

says Java's os.arch would return "aarch64". What's our plan? Are we going to make dist_cocoa-macosx-aarch64 ?

But does Okapi actually have any processor architecture dependency? Isn't it pure Java ?

Can't we just drop "-x86_64" part from the directory name?

I believe the actual platform dependency is because of the SWT jars for the desktop UIs.  

It looks like this is under development: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565690

(Also, I think the later comments in that make it look like the platform name will be 'arm64')

Early access for new SWT libs are now available.

When we do add arm64 we should drop the 32 bit support.

I'm glad I saw this - was thinking of getting an M1 laptop.
