http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ lists direct links for both 32-bit and 64-bit packages for both Mac and Linux, but not Windows.  Especially with Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows x64 is no longer a rarity.

A Windows 64-bit download is available for Classic only by clicking on "Other Downloads" (under Eclipse Classic, links to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads), clicking on a release (e.g. 3.5.1, http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/index.php), then finally selecting the "x86_64" download.

All the other packages, e.g. "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" and "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" do not appear to have x64 packages available at all.  The best alternative I am aware of is to download Classic, then install the additional features through Help / Install New Software.

The only existing bugs I found related to this were bug 200624, and its duplicate - bug 195096.

Reproducible: Always

Although, to accomplish this, we'd need to ask EPP to build windows 64-bit packages.

For Helios, Windows 64-bit packages are being produced.  We won't be producing 64-bit Windows packages for Galileo, although one can always download the Win-64 SDK.
