Make sure your eclipse.ini file includes the following lines.

-vm
C:\path\to\64bit\java\bin\javaw.exe

My eclipse.ini for example:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

Use OS and Eclipse both 64 bit or both 32 bit keep same and config eclipse.ini.

Your eclipse.ini file can be found in your eclipse folder.
