What is the maximum file size 32 bit java can access?

Is this architecture dependent?

+5  A: 

2^63-1 bytes (because the Java API uses 64bit integers for file sizes) or platform dependent (if the platform has some limitations, for example FAT32).

+2  A: 

And it has nothing to do with '32-bit' Java. That describes the memory address space, not the file system.
