That doesn't make any sense since 32 and 64 bit have the same path limitations afaik on windows.

 Since its not physically possible to even start eclipse with mixed 32/64 bits this can't be the reason.

Do you know if it�s possible to install JBoss Tools in a 32-bit Eclipse even with a 32-bit JDK? Anyways, tomorrow I will double check this other machine configuration (I don�t have it with me now).
