What was implemented:
1. Names were updated to Installation type and 32/64-bit
2. Validation check selected name while you type and shows error/warnings below radio buttons to select installation type.
3. Radio buttons are visible for all platforms and enabled only for Mac OSX
4. On Mac OSX desired installation type 32 or 64 can be changed by radio button, on other platforms location should be changed to JVM with desired architecture (and disabled radio buttons reflects architecture for selection)
5. For windows 64-bit and Mac OSX 64-bit it warns that Visual Editor is not supported for selected installation type

> I stumbled upon this when testing JBDS on Leopard:
> When you install the Cocoa (32bit) version of JBDS on Leopard, it lets you install it with no problem even though it's not supported because then it's bound to run with Java 1.5 (Java 1.6 is 64bit-only on Leopard).
> When you start JBDS after the installation at first everything seems ok - the welcome screen, the menu... But for example the installed EAP runtime is missing and soon you realize that other plugins are missing too - this is the result of running JBDS running with Java 1.5 in this case.
> If a user installs 32bit version of JBDS on Leopard, it is his fault. But it would be nice to have some kind of warning - either during the installation. Or when JBDS is started with Java 1.5.
