I downloaded the current Windows 64-bit "Standard" version, unzipped and tried to run it and kept getting jvm.dll not found errors: I edited my path several times before finally reading eclipse/readme/readme_eclipse.html#RunningEclipse, which (still) states "you also need a Java SE 6 JRE, not included with the Eclipse SDK." I figured this must've just been a documentation update oversight, kept reading, and found the command-line way to specify the java path: eclipse -vm <one's java folder>\<one's jre folder>\bin\javaw so tried that, using the path to my jre7\bin\javaw; it ran--without displaying its window, i.e., I had to run TaskManager to find it, and use that to maximize it--but all it gave me was an error screen complaining that some component couldn't find Java 1.6! I searched this site and all I could find about Eclipse and Java 7 were the fact that it now "supports" Java 7, but from the contexts, I'm inferring this means "supports development of Java 7 applications." Could it really be that despite Eclipse's "support" for Java 7 (the announcement of which was dated 2011), one still needs Java 6 to actually run Eclipse?
