eclipse on vista 64

Last week I removed the JRE that came with my laptop not realizing that eclipse needs a 32 bit JVM. It never tells you this, it just fails to start up. I finally found a .log (yes, without a prefix) in the .metadata directory of the workspace that I was trying to start. It had this exception

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM

.

Now I knew what happened and off-course now I have twice the amount of JDK's to manage on my system.

JASIG Conference

This week I'm visiting Dallas (TX) to attend the JASIG Spring 2009 Conference. The BA flight in was long and the conference hotel is nice.
