Please continue to allow this configuration, or even better start supporting it. I’m hesitant to post this comment in fear the next release of MyEclipse 7 will disallow this configuration.
Recently I downloaded the 7.0 M1 beta of MyEclipse to check out the new features and once again explore 64-bit compatibility. So far I’m very impressed. My work machine is running Windows XP 64-bit and I’ve been waiting forever to get a version of eclipse/MyEclipse which would run with a 64-bit JVM. I am happy to comment, with this release I was able to install the 64-bit jvm from sun, download the x64 version of eclipse 3.4 and copy the “dropins” folder and eclipse.ini file straight over. Eclipse started up like a champ! I’ve been running this way for 2 weeks now and don’t have any complaints.
Finally I can now have an eclipse heap over 1.5GB to support my obese project.
revoman, that’s great news… we didn’t actually do any work explicitly to support 64-bit, but it sounds like the base Eclipse platform may have stabalized a bit in 64-bit environments to help it along.
We’ll keep that in mind moving forward, thanks for letting us know.
