Are you talking about this URL?

Moving to website.

Although this theoretically depends on the EPP project to provide 64-bit Windows packages, the SDK *is* available now for Windows x86_64.

Nathan, Ian, as 64-bit Windows is gaining momemtum rapidly, can we simply add the 64-bit Windows link to the SDK?

I was going to kick it there eventually but wanted confirmation from the reporter. ;)

For the EPP package issue, there is bug 293969 by the way.

I agree lets add this now for the Classic SDK.  Nathan can you please take care of this.   For the other packages, I am hoping we will add them for Helios.

Here is the link to the 64-bit SDK:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-win32-x86_64.zip

I think we should also change the Windows package links (labels) to Windows 32bit like the other OSses.

Added 64 Bit links for windows downloads to the SDK on the download tab as well as the development tab.
Comment 7 jonathan aquilina CLA 2009-12-22 19:37:16 EST 
will the 64bit link be added for galileo as well?

These links are only for the Classic SDK downloads.  The packages for Galileo do not have 64 bit windows versions.

Is it just me or did the 64-bit Windows link for Classic disappear?

Refreshed after I got your comment in the bugmail and it came back. *shrugs* Thanks for the sanity check, Nathan.
