[java] Cannot load 64-bit SWT libraries on 32-bit JVM ( replacing SWT file )

I'm trying to debug this problem but not sure where exactly i need to replace SWT jar file for Eclipse.

Current System Config:

Eclipse Helios 3.6 - 32 Bit
JDK 1.6 
JVM - 32 Bit 
Windows 7 - 64 Bit

Error Message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 64-bit SWT libraries on 32-bit JVM

An error has occurred. See the log file

Workaround:

  1. Link1: Understood the cause of the problem and i tried to replace 64-bit SWT to 32 Bit but i'm not sure whether i'm doing it right ?

    downloaded 32-bit file swt-3.6.1-win32-win32-x86.zip Extracted the zip file Have files as shown below

    enter image description here

    copied swt.jar file navigated to C:\Program Files\eclipse\plugins removed 64-bit Swt file ( i.e org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64.source_3.6.2.v3659c ) placed copied swt.jar file and relaunched

    Still throws SAME ERROR

    also tried renaming the swt.jar file to org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64.source_3.6.2.v3659c

    Still same ERROR

  2. Link2: Suggested the alternative solution but couldn't resolve the problem.

    Still same ERROR

  3. I really don't want to uninstall 32-JVM and 32-Bit Eclipse and install corresponding 64 Bit versions.

    Not an OPTION

Workaround After the paulsm4 and Paul Webster response & i'm confused

When i tried executing this to check JVM, JRE version in Eclipse

package javaVersion;

public class JavaVersion
{

    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "JRE Version :" + System.getProperty( "java.runtime.version" ) );
        System.out.println( "JVM Bit size: " + System.getProperty( "sun.arch.data.model" ) );

    }

}

Output:

1.6.0_31-b05
JVM Bit size: 32

However when i tried on command line for JAVA - VERSION

enter image description here

So my understanding system has 64bit JVM where as Eclispe is reading 32 Bit JVM. So how can i divert system to read 32 Bit JVM ?

This question is related to java eclipse-plugin jvm swt eclipse-rcp

The answer is


I just replaced the swt.jar in my package with the 64bit version and it worked straight away. No need to recompile the whole package, just replace the swt.jar file and make sure your application manifest includes it.


Well, duh :) SWT uses JNI ... and JNI is strictly platform specific.

Use 32-bit libraries with a 32-bit JVM, 64-bit libraries with a 64-bit JVM, make sure the versions match exactly, and don't mix'n'match.

IMHO...

PS: You can have multiple JVMs and/or multiple Eclipse's co-existing on the same box.


I removed C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath from my path, and it worked for me. Perfect Answer, Thanks Nikil.


Install a JDK.

It's possible to get Eclipse to run with a JRE, or at least it used to be, but why bother? Eclipse is much happier with a JDK.

Remember that the JRE that is used to run Eclipse does not have to be the JRE that Eclipse uses to run an application.

PS. I'm assuming here that the original poster's problem was getting Eclipse to start, and not (as some other Answers seem to address) getting Eclipse to start an application.


So , just make sure that you are on the right environment i.e 32 bit SWT LIBRARIES should match 32 bit JVM , vice versa.

I solved this problem by installing 64-bit jdk ,64-bit jre and finally by adding setting the jdk path in environment variables adn adding jre to the eclipse.


I removed C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath from my path, and it worked for me.

But make sure you include x64 JDK and JRE addresses in your path.


Go to Path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath (This path is in my case might be different in your case). Rename the folder ORACLE with other name line ORACLE_OLD. And Restart the STS/IDE . This works for me


Just add -d32 to VM arguments in the "Edit launch configuration properties".


Check the target definition if you are working with an RCP-SWT project.

Open the target editor of and navigate to the environent definition. There you can set the architecture. The idea is that by starting up your RCP application then only the 32 bit SWT libraries/bundles will be loaded. If you have already a runtime configuration it is advisable to create a new one as well.

Target Editor in Eclipse

and make sure you include x64 JDK and JRE addresses in your path.


I also faced the same problem a long time ago.

Here is the Solution

In Eclipse Click on "Windows"-->"Preferences"---->"Java"---> "Installed JREs"---->Select the JDK, click on "Edit".

Check your JDK path, is it according to your path in environmental variables defined in system. if not then change it to "path" defined directory.


Thanks a lot guys!

I overlooked my ECLIPSE VERSION it was 64Bit and 3.6

I had to make sure it's 32Bit Eclipse, 32 Bit JVM so i uninstalled Eclipse & all JVM for clean start. Installed 32Bit JDK1.6 from here and 32Bit Eclipse from here
