Eclipse and Windows 64
After acquiring a new laptop (its review on Habré) with installed 64-bit Windows 7, the question arose about the migration of the Eclipse development process. If everything went completely smoothly with the workspacs, the platform itself presented an unpleasant surprise: the 64-bit version for Windows is not available
on the main page for downloading various editions of Eclips.
There are two ways to solve this problem:
1) install the 32-bit version of the JVM and, accordingly, use the 32-bit Eclipse
2) select herea suitable version of the base platform and already there, find the link 64-bit version for Windows. After downloading, unpacking and launching the product, reinstall (from the Help-> Install New Software ... menu) from the update site for Galileo the set of functionality you need.
The disadvantages of these solutions:
in the first case, you need to install an additional JVM, you will also receive additional restrictions in available memory, work in WOW64 mode. In the second, you will have to download the necessary plug-ins “on your own” (that is, there is some additional headache in the form of a choice from a long list of available packages).
In both cases, I can’t call the problems very significant, however, their presence does not allow us to be completely satisfied with the situation.
In other matters, not for me alone. In Eclips’s bugzilla there are enough requests to this effect, I’ll only note it is open at the moment, in the comments to which you can also find an explanation of the reason for the lack of assemblies for win 64: they do not have enough resources to test for “another platform”.
Tip of the day:
if at the start of Eclips it pleases you with the message “JVM terminated. Exit code = -1 ... and then only a list of parameters with which the launch was made, ”it is recommended to check the compatibility of the running JVM (java -version) and Eclips.
