JAVA virtual machine always used big-endian, Intel x86 used little-endian.

 public class Swab {
   public final static int swabInt(int v) {
     return  (v >>> 24) | (v << 24) | 
       ((v << 8) & 0x00FF0000) | ((v >> 8) & 0x0000FF00);
     }

   public static void main(String argv[]) {
     //  before 0x01020304
     //    after  0x04030201
     int v = 0x01020304;
     System.out.println("before : 0x" + Integer.toString(v,16));
     System.out.println("after  : 0x" + Integer.toString(swabInt(v),16));
     }
   }
