I have a system running 64bit windows 7. I'm doing a project using JMF, which I found works best (or only) with 32 bit jdk. I'm using a 32bit eclipse. I also have a 64bit JDK installed. right now I have set classpath (JAVA_HOME and Path) for the 32bit JDK.

The problem is it becomes hectic to switch between the 64bit and 32 bit JDK(i have to change classpaths everytime). Is there any easier way to do that?

You can have multiple JREs registered with Eclipse, and associate a project or run configuration with a specific JRE. These are different from the JRE you use to run Eclipse in.
