Hello, I am pleased to see the release of Eclipse 3.4 yesterday. :-)
My understanding is that, with this release, Eclipse, SWT, and other tools
are now fully supported on x64 versions of Windows (that is, there are
native 64-bit versions of these tools available).
I downloaded the 64-bit Windows version of the Eclipse IDE, and when I
unpacked it and ran it, it gave me a bizarre error (see below). However,
if I right-click the executable and select "Run as Administrator," it
launches and seems to work fine. However, I'd rather not have to elevate
Eclipse every time I launch it, it seems silly.
I was wondering if anyone else had seen this and/or knows of a resolution.
For now, I'm sticking with the 32-bit version of the IDE, which works fine
when launched normally.
Thanks for any insights,
- Aaron
Some info:
Windows Vista (64-bit)
4 GB of RAM
Sun Java JDK 1.6_06 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed)
The error message:
JVM has terminated. Exit code=-1
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Djava.class.path=C:\Program
Files\Eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v 20080509-1800.jar
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86_64
-showsplash C:\Program
Files\Eclipse\\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_3.3.100.v2008061 72000\splash.bmp
......
What seems to follow seems to be the parameters used to launch Eclipse.
I've posted a screenshot of the entire message here (got tired of typing):

I just downloaded the latest version of Eclipse and am experiencing the
same problem. I can only run it when I "Run As Administrator". I'd much
rather not do this as well. Is there a workaround/fix?

What folder did you unpack it into, and where is your workspace? It
sounds like Eclipse is trying to write a file (or uncache the contents
of a plugin) in a protected location, like c:/Program Files.
Also, make sure you use a real unzip program, not the built-in Windows
unzip tool, as is mentioned on the download page. I doubt that's the
issue here, but it's not impossible.
