  <p>This is appartantly got to do with a 32-bit JVM trying to load a 64-bit native shared library. However my java version is 64 bit</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>java version "1.7.0_79" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build
    1.7.0_79-b15) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)</p>

  <p>The applicaton is build using maven, anyone have any clue what the issue could be here?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
