Andrew,

I had the same problem with the same files(on Redmond 7x64bit). My nix box had no problem...but it was all 64 bit. In my case, I was using the 32 bit jre (with JDK 1.6.0_26) with 64 bit eclipse.

There is discussion of this in '2010 & '09 answered (thanks!! Eric Rizzo).
The readme for the 3.7 CDT install also explains it in section 3.1.2.

Long story short, the 32/64bit versions of Java and Eclipse must match.

Java versions (OS, 32/64bit, and features) are available at www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

See: wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
The wiki and other sources recommend to mapping eclipse to the java install you want to use.

An example win version is below:
(c:\glassfish will not by typical)
------------------------

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v2
0110502-productorg.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vm
C:\glassfish3\jdk\jre\bin\
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.required
JavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
----------------------------------------
As for me...I made these changes...and all has been well since.

Best of luck.
