Installing Eclipse Java EE (JEE) Galileo in Windows 7 using 64 bit JDK
Normally I do not do any development in Windows (I use Ubuntu for it). But recently tried setting up DEV environment in Windows 7 64 bit for a project which had Eclipse Java EE version – Galileo as the IDE.
I downloaded and installed 64 bit JDK 1.6.20 and then downloaded Eclipse JEE bundle for Windows platform. When i tried to run Eclipse it spit out an error dialog as it was a 64 bit JDK.
I searched for a 64 bit Eclipse JEE bundle but as on date cannot find one. Hence uninstalled 64 bit JDK and installed 32 bit JDK and continued with the setup.
Hope Eclipse soon comes out with a 64 bit JEE version soon.
