Okay. This has been rather headache inducing, but I believe I have a solution. After changing the eclipse.ini, Go to your project properties. Under the Run/Debug settings, edit the launch configuration for your project. Under the JRE tag, click installed JREs. When that dialog comes up, click search. Go to your program files folder, NOT the x86 one, and let it search for your JREs. When the latest comes up, deselect the JRE that was currently selected and select the most recent JRE that it found. I renamed mine JRE7-64 just so I could identify a difference. This solved the issue on my end. Good luck
