Support for x64 eclipse win OS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I am working on Windows 7 x64 with standard Flash Builder 4.5 from Adobe. 
Unfortunately due to some bugs in it, I often have Out of Memory errors after 
several Cleaning of my projects. We are building big system, so I have like 15 
flex projects in my workspace.

I would like to have ability to launch Flash Builder with x64 Eclipse/Java 
(just in order to configure more than 1.3G heap size, to make it work longer 
with no need to restart). Standard Flash Builder does not support x64 eclipse.  

My first try was to move to linux and try to use your FB in it. It works fine 
but it's hard-to-impossible to move to linux as I am using some software that 
is not runnable on linux (like MSSQL server). Virtual machines setup is not 
under consideration due to performance issues. Wine is not an option as well.

I tried to use your fb4linux on windows 7 x64 with eclipse x64 and jdk 6 x64. 
To my surprise it almost works fine except 1 issue that is  critical and 
show-stopper, though I feel like it is easily fixable.

Neither "Debug", nor "Run" works. The following exception occurs:

java.lang.NullPointerException

This software is designed to run on Linux because there is an official version 
of Flash Builder that runs on windows.

As I mentioned in my original post, I am working on x64 Windows 7 and would 
like to use java x64 and eclipse x64. Just to configure more memory for 
eclipse. There is no Adobe support for such configuration, that is why I am to 
some extent in the same situation as linux user.

as for mssql, simply use on a different server machine through jdbc driver. 
there is no need your develop workstation to be w7 too.

mssql was just an example, there a lot of software in our development stack. 
moreover I can not choose development OS, as it is our corporate decision to 
use windows for it.
