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/>

From V3 onwards you can have mutiple arduino versions in the same workspace.

This allows for a gradual upgrade process.

Pre V3:

Each Arduino version should have its own Eclipse workspace. Changing Arduino version in the plugin may corrupt the plugin settings.

In V2 I have experimented with creating hardwares that are actually Arduino versions. This works out fine but has the drawback that it is very easy to make mistakes.
