Is Eclipse 2018-12 availabe for 32 bit Windows or Linux? - eclipse

I need to install Eclipse 2018-12 modelling tools on my 32 bit machine.
In the official site it is available only for 64bit machines.
I tried to download Eclipse 2018-09 and then upgrade it to Eclipse 2018-12 but the upgrade process creates p2bu file and deletes the application files.

No, in Eclipse 2018-12 (4.10) the support of 32-bit platforms has been dropped.
See Eclipse 4.10 - New and Noteworthy - Dropped support for 32-bit platforms:
Eclipse and eclipse based applications no longer run on 32 bit
platforms or 32 bit JVM. Only 64-bit platforms/JVM are supported.
See also Eclipse bug 536766.

Java 16 unbound on Eclipse

I have Java JDK 16 installed on my computer and I've changed the JRE system library to JavaSE-16 in build paths of all of my Eclipse projects.
Here's the problem. I get errors saying that there are no compatible JREs installed in the workplace and some errors say that JavaSE-16 library is unbound. This happens despite installing Java 16 support from Eclipse Marketplace. Does anyone know a solution?

Should I use 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu for Google TV development?

I just got a machine with Win7 on it, and would set up dual-boot to Ubuntu 12. My question is that should I choose 32bit or 64bit? Does it matter?
I would go with the 64bit system. This is because more and more systems are going to the 64bit model and also because you can do both 32bit and 64bit development on a 64bit system.

Installing the ARM DS-5 community edition under Ubuntu 64 bit

http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/
I have a 64 bit installation of Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, i want to install the community edition of DS-5, but i can't.
I have the 32 bit version of Eclipse and the 32 bit version of an official JDK from Oracle.
When i use this URL
http://tools.arm.com/eclipse
in the Eclipse package manager i see 1 package but when in choose to install it i get this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse plug-ins for DS-5 Community Edition 5.10.0.20120515_072757 (com.arm.ds.community.feature.feature.group 5.10.0.20120515_072757)
Missing requirement: Eclipse plug-ins for DS-5 Community Edition 5.10.0.20120515_072757 (com.arm.ds.community.feature.feature.group 5.10.0.20120515_072757) requires 'org.eclipse.platform.feature.group [3.7.0,3.8.0)' but it could not be found
my best guess is that my copy of Eclipse ( Juno ) is too recent for this plugin.
ARM DS-5 seems not to work on Eclipse Juno at the moment. But it runs well on Eclipse Indigo and Oracle JDK 6 (32 bit in each case).

Java and Eclipse - 32 vs. 64bit

I'm a little bit confused about the two different versions of Eclipse - 32/64bit.
As far as I know, Java bytecode (= build of your code) is platform independend. If a user runs your bytecode in a 32bit JRE, the code is executed in as a 32bit process, if a user runs your bytecode in a 64bit JRE, the code is exectued as a 64bit process.
Eclipse needs the JRE to run, cause it's written in Java. But why are there 32 and 64bit versions of Eclipse on the Eclipse download page if only the user's JRE version does matter?
Does a 64bit Eclipse version need a 64bit JRE or JDK? If yes ,why?
Second confusion: I understand the need for a 32 and 64 bit version of the JRE. But why are there 32 and 64 bit versions of the JDK if the resulting bytecode is platform independet?
Thank you
Eclipse relies on SWT, which is essentially native code. There will be quite a few DLLs etc. exists (in the plugins or features directories) that will be used by the 64-bit version, that are drastically different from the 32-bit version.
It is not because of the running environment, it is because Eclipse uses some native stuff and must be run on corresponding JDK. The applications you are developing inside Eclipse can then be run on whatever JRE you have installed, just specify it in the settings.
JDK is a compiler and also a lot of other stuff. Many of them are native applications that need to be run corresponding platform.

Can i make Jboss Tools plugin to run on JDK 32 while run Eclipse on JDK 64?

Can i make Jboss Tools plugin to run on JDK 32 while run Eclipse on JDK 64?
I wanted to do this because i need to assign more memory to eclipse while making Jboss tools (visual editor) use the 32 jdk hence it doesn't on 64.
noting i am running a Windows 7 64, if yes how can i achieve this?
Can i make Jboss Tools plugin to run on JDK 32 while run Eclipse on JDK 64?
Assuming you are talking about a plugin for Eclipse, the answer is - No.
A plugin for Eclipse runs in the same JVM as Eclipse itself. That has to be either 32 bit or 64 bit. It can't be both!
Why do you need to "making Jboss tools use the 32 jdk"? Do you mean that you want it to launch a 32bit JVM to run JBoss? If so, then you should be able to do this either via preferences in the JBoss plugin or via the relevant application launcher configuration. (Maybe someone with experience with this particular plugin could chime in with specific details.)
But lets be clear, this is NOT making the "Jboss Tools plugin to run on JDK 32" ...
