Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

You need to use a 32 bit VM since you are using a 32 bit eclipse. For 3.5, 64 bit windows builds are hard to find, though I think they do exist.

If your eclipse were a 64 bit version, the launcher would be org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64, but yours is org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86 without the _x64. It is listed around the middle of the error message.

To change the VM, simply add a -vm parameter to your eclipse.ini. I usually add mine as first entry, though I'm not sure that's important. It should look like this:

-vm
C:\path\to\java\bin\javaw.exe

You definitely need the version of Eclipse with the same bitness as the JVM.

Thanks, you are correct. Unfortunately SO is not allowing me to mark this as the accepted solution... :/

Answer 2

A:

Read here http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml and install the version that fits best your version of windows

The OP already has the 64-bit version of Java installed. The problem is the 32-bit version of Eclipse that he is trying to run.
