Java is cross platform so you should not have any problems.

That being said, if you are using native libraries that require 32 bit, then you will not be able to run the project in a 64 bit JVM. Similarly, 64 bit native libraries will not work in a 32 bit JVM.

Eclipse is indifferent to what architecture you are targeting with your project. Even if your project requires a 32 bit JVM in order to run, you can still develop it in a 32 or a 64 bit running instance of Eclipse. You will be able to compile and package ('export') projects regardless of machine architecture. For running the project within Eclipse you will have to specify a 32 bit JVM or otherwise the native libraries will fail to load.
