Update:Due to market praktises 64bit becomes more and more a must. So if you have a 64 bit system and you are sure you have a 64 bit java installed feel free to use 64 bit eclipse.<br/>

Use 32 bit. No doubth. Why? The benefit of 64 is when you need more than 3Gig of memory to run the Eclipse environment.<br/>

Unless you integrate your projects with a suite of professional tools you will never hit this limit.<br/>

Arduino comes with a set of 32 bit tools. 64 bit Eclipse can not closely integrate with these tools. As a consequence "64 bit alternatives" are delivered with the plugin.<br/>

However these alternatives sometimes have "side efects".<br/>

Also the tools are not tested by Arduino in 64 bit. This explains for instance why the serial monitor does not work with Leonardo in 64 bit but it does in 32 bit.<br/>

So unless you really need 64bit Eclipse I strongly advice 32 bit Eclipse.<br/>

Update: Arduino started to support 64 bit on Linux so that may be an exception.<br/>

I used to use Github. However I changed to Rational team concert as it fits far better with my needs.</br>

Rational Team Concert is a great tool that allows to control the code at a high and low level at the same time. To me it outruns Github by far.

Thanks for noticing there is quite some test work. As there are 4 Eclipse versions I support and there are 4 Arduino IDE versions I support that is 16 setups.

For each of these setups I compile a dummy project for al boards. In total that is more than 200 Arduino sketches. There is no way I'm doing this manually.</br>

I test all setups with Rational Functional Tester. Due to my employer I hold a licence to this product. I can not compare Rational Functional Tester to other tools in the market.</br>

I know it does the work with me spending less time than doing it manually.

I use junit. The junit tests are in the github repository. running these takes a very long time.

You can download 10 free licences (What I'm doing). If you are running an open source project you can get all the free licences you need.<br/>

If you are not be willing to set up your own server to run RTC/CVS/subversion/git you may consider using <ahref="https://github.com/">github</a>.<br/>

In the settings page a private library folder is requested. This setting should point to a location where you down loaded Arduino libraries.<br/>
The Arduino Eclipse plugin is the part that makes the life of a Arduino developer easier in Eclipse CDT. Simply put: eclipse/CDT knows how to build a C/C++ project with all ins and outs; the Arduino Eclipse plugins tells it the ins and outs needed for Arduino development.

The plugin started as a plugin that needs to be installed on a Eclipse environment that holds the Eclipse CDT plugin. Later we bundled the plugin with CDT and Eclipse as a product.
