64-bit machines can run 32-bit and 64-bit eclipse at the same time, but the computer must have a corresponding JDK. Eclipse does not require installation, but at startup it checks to see if there is a suitable JRE in the fixed folder on the system. For example, 32-bit eclipse will check the C:/Program files (x86)/java/;64 bit eclipse to check C:/Program files/java/. So it is possible to run both 32-bit and 64-bit eclipse only if there is a corresponding JRE in both folders. The steps are as follows:
1. Download the 32-bit and 64-bit JDK as well as the 32-bit and 64-bit eclipse respectively.
2. Because the Windows version of the JDK available on the Oracle Web site is an EXE file, all we need is the JRE folder. My solution is to first install the 64-bit JDK, after installation, the C:/programs files/will be generated under the java/folder, the Java folder to copy to the desktop (or, of course, other places, backup, in case you uninstall it to remove the folder). Uninstall the 64-bit JDK again. The 32-bit JDK is then installed and, after installation, becomes a java/folder under C:/programs files (x86)/folder. You can open 32-bit eclipse at this point. Then copy the 64-bit Java folder that you just copied back to the C:/programs files folder.
At this point, both 32-bit and 64-bit eclipse can be run.
