It should be noted for Mac OS X that Java 6 is 64bit only and requires a 64bit version of Eclipse which will default to Java 6 so there is no need to specify the VM.

When i change the eclipse.ini as specified (the two lines '-vm' and the following, exactly, because it's the same path on my system), eclipse truncates the path to "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework" which causes a "JVM Terminated." error at startup with a dialog showing all the startup parameters/switches.

Curious, the same problem happens without editing eclipse.ini when i just change the default JVM to be Java 6. That is, when i switch all the "Current*" symlinks in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions to point to 1.6 and when my eclipse.ini is the default, eclipse won't run because it truncates the path to the java executable (however it determines what that is, by default).

This is not due to 32bit vs 64bit. The same issue occurs with 64bit versions of eclipse.
