The answers above me got me tempted so much, that I decided to dry run all the possible combinations with OS, Eclipse and JVM trio. Anyway, whoever is digging down and reading my post, check the following as a hot spot (I am Windows 7 user).

1. You understand Program Files and Program File (x86) are two different folders... x86 stands for the 32-bit version of programs and the former is the 64-bit version.

2. If you have multiple versions of Java installed with different bitness and release versions, which is bound to happen with so many open source IDEs, managers, administrative consoles, the best option is to set the VM argument directly in the eclipse.ini file. If you don't, Eclipse will go crazy and try searching itself which is not good.
