so the questions as in the title, I need to run my server application in Tomcat on a System which is 32 bit Windows XP, I am working and compiling on my 64 bit Windows 7 in Ecli
If you're still searching for some "simple" solution, one would be to install a 32 bit os in a virtual machine and run eclipse from there.. Very ugly I know, but it works.
Another approach is mentioned here. How to launch java swing app which used precompled DLL from cmd?
