Description Karthik Natarajan CLA 2014-06-10 05:32:38 EDT 
Hi raising this bug not to degrade eclipse. As a eclipse plugin developer for the past 7 years. I felt to write this to eclipse Bugzilla

1. When Windows 32 bit or 64 bit allows JAVA 32 bit / 64 bit to install on their machine - i can say cross platform support between these two

Here is the question
What is the purpose of having Eclipse developed using JAVA as two different 32bit & 64 bit

We should have ability to make it as a single one 'Eclipse' which support any JAVA bit's

I would be glade to research on this further if you people would like to me as a part of our eclipse team


NOTE:- if i am wrong any where please correct me & also share you points

Thanks & Regards
Karthik Natarajan

Eclipse contains native (C language) parts like SWT (graphical library), resources and etc. Thus these need have to be arch specific - esp as there is native launcher (aka eclipse.exe) which is also written in C and can not be dual arched.
