Re: [eclipse-clp-users] java.lang.RuntimeException: Unsupported platform: Windows 7/amd64

Hi David,

ECLiPSe 6.0 can be run on 64 bit Windows as a 32 bit application. 
However, you also need to use 32 bit Java if you want to embed ECLiPSe 
into Java. You seem to be running 64 bit Java, which is why you are 
seeing the error. You can't embed 32 bit libraries (ECLiPSe in your 
case) into a 64 bit application.

You can run 32 bit Java on 64 bit Window. Using this you should be able 
to embed 32 bit ECLiPSe (we do it on our 64 bit Windows test machine).

Cheers,

Kish
