Eclipse IDE on Windows 7 64-bit?

Is anyone using the Eclipse 3.4.2 IDE on Windows 7 64-bit?  Have you seen any problems?

 

Thanks

David

I have attempted using Force.com IDE on Windows 7 with no luck installing the IDE plug-in. I am a noob to this Force Platform thing so I am hoping some stellar Force.com god will come to my rescue and tell me what is wrong.

I've been using Eclipse 3.3.2 32-bit on Win 7 64-bit for a couple months and it works fine, but was curious if the 64-bit Eclipse ran better.

Hi Experts,

   I have installed Force.com IDE 64bit -- Windows 7 successfully.

But when i try to create a new Force.com project, after providing my credentilas for the environment, it hangs after i click the NEXT button, no error meesages or anything...

 

I am able to login to the same environment directly from  "test.salesforce.com" without any issue.

 

Any help in this is really appreciated?

 

Thanks in advance.

I am having same issues as narens...

 

Going to try 32-bit to see if it resolves issues.

And the solution I found: Use Eclipse 3.6  : )  Force.com plugin is now compatible.

I also have similar problem

I have windows7 64 bit OS

 eclipse helios -3.6  32 bit

java 1.6.0_33-b03 32 bit 

and

force.com IDE plugin for 3.6 installed

the setup is very slow.  I got outof memory errors frequently and eclipse crashed several times.

i have changed the eclipse.ini to add

-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_31\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:+UseParallelGC

I haven't seen any out of memory errors  but still it is very slow .

Anybody have suggestions for this problem?
