Run Eclipse in a 32bit JVM instead, that works fine. Rebuilding it from scratch may also help, but I'm not sure if their code base is really 64bit clean.
No, the Eclipse code is not yet 64 bit clean, but it is well on it's way. The current snapshot of the amd64 version of SWT (representing the biggest part to be ported) will allow you to run 3.0M7 without any major problems (I have only seen one problem which I think is JVM-related). To get this running, I believe you will need to do some building yourself, which may require some experience of Java and C. However, the amd64 support is planned to go into the 3.0M8 release which is just a few weeks away (March 26). Progress may be monitored on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37775 . While on the topic: there should be a release of 1.4.2 for amd64 from Blackdown any day now. There is also the 1.5-B1 JDK to get from Sun Early Access - I have not tried running Eclipse on that beast though. btw, from working with this, I learned that Sun has decided to have their JDK returning the archicture identifier "amd64" instead of "x86_64" (even after the Intel announcements) . Anyone knows if there are any plans to rename the x86_64 identifier used for Linux architecture? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
