I am running on win7, have just installed latest 64 bit jre and eclipse (helios 64 bit). Received error messages about eclipse not finding javaw so looked up and followed directions for editing the eclipse ini file. Now when I try executing eclipse.exe I get no messages and nothing happens.
My ini file looks like this:

-startup

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar

--launcher.library

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.0.v20100503

-product

org.eclipse.epp.package.php.product

--launcher.defaultAction

openFile

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize

256M

-showsplash

org.eclipse.platform

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize

256m

--launcher.defaultAction

openFile

-vm
C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre7/bin/javaw.exe
-vmargs

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5

-Xms40m

-Xmx384m

You aren't pointing to a 64 bit jre. Program Files (x86) is where 32 bit apps are installed.

thanks - I didn't realize that even though I'd selected 64 bit apparently it installed 32 bit version. Anyway, I installed under eclipse_php directory and all is well now. Thanks!
