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

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

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

Eclipse is launching your application with whatever JRE you defined in your launch configuration   Since you re running the 32-bit Eclipse  you re running debugging against its 32-bit SWT libraries  and you ll need to run a 32-bit JRE   Your 64-bit JRE is  for whatever reason  your default Installed JRE   To change this  first make sure you have a 32-bit JRE configured in the Installed JREs preference   Go to Window -  Preferences and navigate to Java -  Installed JREs     You can click Add and navigate to your 32-bit JVM s JAVA HOME to add it   Then in your Run Configuration  find your Eclipse Application and make sure the Runtime JRE is set to the 32-bit JRE you just configured      Note the combobox that is poorly highlighted    Don t try replacing SWT jars  that will likely end poorly

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

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  amp  all JVM for clean  start  Installed 32Bit JDK1 6 from here and 32Bit Eclipse from here

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

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

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

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
