Answer 1

Go to the Eclipse base folder → open eclipse.ini → you will find the below line at line no 4:

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20150204-1316 plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.200.v20120913-144807

As you can see, line 1 is of 64-bit Eclipse. It contains x86_64 and line 2 is of 32-bit Eclipse. It contains x_86.

For 32-bit Eclipse only x86 will be present and for 64-bit Eclipse x86_64 will be present.
