I used to run Eclipse 3.4 / Java 1.6 / Android SDK 1.0,1.1,1.5,1.6 on Vista 64 but recently did a clean install of Windows 7.
Now I'm running Eclipse 3.4 / Java 32 and 64 1.6 / Android SDK 1.5-2.0 on Windows 7 Professional x64 without any problems. Windows 7 seems to handle everything exactly the same way vista did. It is a derivative of Vista, after all. Edo, I'd say your problem is more with your specific environment or configuration than it is with Windows 7. Consider wiping all of your java installation stuff and environment variables and reinstalling java to get it clean. I didn't set any special environment variables for anything anywhere. In fact, all I did was dump eclipse on, drop the SDK into c: \Android_SDK and install ADT. Everything worked first try - but it was a totally clean installation.
