Error when opening eclipse [message #760561]

I downloaded the eclipse IDE for java developers and unzipped the folder to my C drive then edited the eclipse.ini file. Pretty sure it's not correct because when I run the .exe it says

Java was started but returned exit code=13
C:\program Files (x86)\java\jdk1.7.0.01\bin\javaw.exe
-dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx384m
--Xx:maxPermSize=256m
-jar
C:\eclipse\\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar

-jar
C:\eclipse\\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar

and this is what my eclipse.ini looks like...

--launcher.library

any help is much appreciated.

You are trying to run a 64 bit Eclipse on a 32 bit JVM. That won't
work. The bit size has to match between the two. You either have to
install a 64 bit JVM, or download the 32 bit Eclipse version.

Are you trying to run a 64-bit Eclipse download on a 32-bit JDK?

I had actually thought about that as i read the error again. I must have just clicked the wrong link for the JDK i'll try installing the 64 bit.
