To eclipse.ini it will run, but then I cannot pin it to the task bar. How do I get Eclipse to A) Run B) As my user account C) Pinned to the task bar? Eclipse windows-7. I am going to download Eclipse IDE for Java EE. I am using a windows 7 computer and its system properties says it is a 64 bit operating system. I also have a windows xp laptop that is a 32-bit.
Recently I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. Seems that the 32-bit and 64-bit architecture in regards to programs is still a bit confusing.
I’m using Eclipse PDT 32-bit which at the moment the only current all in one version. Can be downloaded here.

2. Second option is download the Eclipse PDT 32 bit version and then download 32 bit JRE and JDK. You should not mix eclipse 32 bit with 64 bit java, it wont work as I found out the long way. See my screenshot below, it cannot find it since my Java is 64 bit.
Following option 2 which is the option I took.
Download the 32 bit version of JRE and Java SDK here .
Download the 32 bit version of JRE and Java SDK here .
They will be installed on the C:Program Files (x64)Java folder.
Next download Eclipse PDT and extract this your C drive like C:eclipse. If try to run it you will likely get this error.
