We'll have have several systems all with different OSes.

FC4 32bit works
FC4 64bit with JDK 5.0 64 (SUN) works fine
Windows XP 32 bit works fine
Windows XP 64 bit + JDK 5.0 64bit DOES NOT WORK
Windows XP 64 bit + JDK 5.0 32bit works fine

I've tried downloading the source and compiling my own, but no go
either. Perhaps I'm just not experience with porting Eclipse.

Any plans for 64bit Windows & JDK combo?

Thanks.

There is an open feature request:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=57151

I don't see any real problems doing a port, except that it is a bunch
of work. For the GTK+ 64 port, we marked up the SWT source code to
convert all of the relevant spots from int to long by a search and
replace. You then have to find all the spots you missed. See any of
the GTK sources and the conversion scripts in org.eclipse.swt.tools.
Patches appreciated :)

So, there are two things holding back the port:
1. Lack of interest, more important things to do
2. Rumors that the VMs for 64-bit Windows aren't very robust
(there are bad JIT bugs in the Sun VM on Linux/x86-64,
see bug 71987)

i have one question: why on earth you need this? do you have such huge

solaris on sparc is 64bit since ages and sun still doesn't bother to
build all apps on 64bit. just the kernel and few programs are.
