<td width="70%" valign="top">Windows x86_64/AMD64 has joined the lineup of supported
configurations for which SWT and Eclipse are routinely built. To use it you must be
running on a 64-bit edition of Windows with a 64-bit JRE. (Note that the 32-bit
versions of SWT and Eclipse can still be used on these configurations with a 32-bit JRE).
