On the eclipse download page: http://eclipse.org/downloads/
Linux is listed for each bundle as 'Linux (32-bit)' and 'Linux (64-bit)'.
Mac OS X has listings for "cocoa" and "carbon", but the cocoa links seem
to all go to ....-cocoa.tar.gz, which are the 32-bit versions. This means
they HAVE to run on java 1.5 and not java 1.6, as the only (apple) JVMs on
java 1.6 are 64-bit.
You CAN find the ...-cocoa-x64_64.tar.gz downloads on the eclipse PROJECT
download page:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
but the only practical way to get there is via a small link in explanatory
text near the bottom of the usual download page, and the only download
offered there is eclipse classic.
Why is that?
