I have searched and it sounds like it's available but I cannot find the download either on Zend or Eclipse PDT site:

http://www.zend.com/community/pdt?ecl=EclipseZend
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/

64 Bit available for everything but Windows 7??? Yet this message thread suggests otherwise:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.e ... 03702.html

Where can I find a 64 bit version of Eclipse for Windows 7? Do I have to build from scratch or something?

Cheers,
Alex

May I ask you why would you need one? I understand the need of 64bit versions for resource-intensive applications like 3dMax or Autocad - but simple text editor?

Because everything runs visibly faster in 64bit versions...toirtoiseSVN I recently switched to 64 bit and it runs much smoother...Eclipse is massive and really slow even on a brand new high performance system. All the plugins, validations, etc...just slows everything to crawl sometimes it's really annoying.

I figure if there was a 64 bit edition it would probalby boost performance and I wouldn't get so frustarted waiting for long operations.. :)
