A: 

You might find Eclipse runs better on JDK 1.5, particularly if you are not using the very latest versions of the 64-bit JDK and Eclipse Galileo.

I do run eclipse without any problem, with a JDK6-64 bit on a Windows 7
(use the "Windows x64" Platform option of the Java SE download page).

See my eclipse.ini here.
If your 'java -version' displays something like:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

, your eclipse should be able to launch itself without any problem.

my java version is also jdk1.6.0_18.I think eclipse has some issues on windows 7 64 bit.On some web sites, they suggest to install eclipse 64 bit and jdk 64 bit and also jdk 32 bit together because eclipse supports 32 bit windows. They say it works so but i couldn't.Thank you...

@paradise: you need both the 64-bits version of eclipse *and* the 64-bits version of the JVM to make this work.

@vonc: nice torn egdes. Use a program (if so, which?) or manual (if so, how?)

What is the exact version of your Eclipse and JDK? See also this page for the supported target environments.
