One of the problems with playing with a new platform is getting things
they way you are used to them. Linux is somewhat easier than Windows in
that respect, but using Eclipse has at least provided a level playing
field and now that I've got it tidied up and working on the Vista64 box
( has to use w32 jave to run ;) ) I can now get around some of the
little niggles.
I do not understand why you have to run with win32 Java. There is a 64
bit version of Java from Sun which runs on Windows. Like most 64 bit
support on Windows, it takes some work to locate, the Java site mentions
it, but despite referring to a download I can't find it there. Instead,
I use this link:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Also, there is a 64 bit version of Eclipse, although you have to do some
digging to find it exists. Go to the mirror of your choice and look for
the 'eclipse-platform-SDK-3.4-win32-x86_64.zip' file. This requires
that you add any dependencies for PDT etc yourself, but as each project
lists its dependencies this is not a real problem. However, it's the
only 64 bit version of Eclipse I have been able to find, PDT does not do
a bundle for x64 yet :-(
PHPEclipse is still x86 as well ... I have no plans to move to PDT any
time soon as I know most of the PHPEclipse code quite well now!
Along with a couple of other SQL packages. I tried the x86_64 build but
could not install the other bits that I use successfully on the 64 bit
version on Linux ... not enough hours to waste even more time fixing
side issues, so I switched to what I was told DID work, and it's doing
what I need.
