I do not understand why you have to run with win32 Java. There is a 64 bit version of Java from Sun which runs on Windows. Like most 64 bit support on Windows, it takes some work to locate, the Java site mentions it, but despite referring to a download I can't find it there. Instead, I use this link: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Also, there is a 64 bit version of Eclipse, although you have to do some digging to find it exists. Go to the mirror of your choice and look for the 'eclipse-platform-SDK-3.4-win32-x86_64.zip' file. This requires that you add any dependencies for PDT etc yourself, but as each project lists its dependencies this is not a real problem. However, it's the only 64 bit version of Eclipse I have been able to find, PDT does not do a bundle for x64 yet :-( > Files that are common to windows and linux will naturally follow linux > rules on new line, so can't be displayed in 'notepad', and I've had to > switch some of the windows defaults to get 'wordpad' used instead.
