So I recently found out that I've made the mistake of downloading a 32-bit version of Java long ago, now all of my applications that use Java are running 32-bit. Do I have to re-install every application if I correct my Java mess up or will they automatically change? I ask this because I have A TON of Java applications, and it would be a pain to find and re-install every single one.

Thanks,
Aiden

32bit is fine. Unless your intentionally running a 64bit browser (you'd know) then you're only going to be using 32bit anyway.

The programs should run just fine without any changes on a 64-bit Java. Java is compiled to bytecode which is totally independent of the platform it is running on. The Java interpreter then runs this code.

If you are running a 64-bit OS you would be well advised to install the 64-bit version of Java as it will run more efficiently on your system than the 32-bit one. As I guess you realize, from your OP, Java is a lot more than just a browser extension.
