Create a New Lua Project in Eclipse, but I get an error information.
error messages:
Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Lua Project Builder' on project 'easylua'.
D:\tool\eclipse-cpp\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\320\1\.cp\luajava-1.1.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

No solution for this right now.

I tried eclipse 3.5, but there is no 64 bit version, so I even can not run it on my 64-bit windows system.

I tried eclipse 3.6, and try to install luaeclipse plugin 1.2, but get these error informations:
error message:

  org.keplerproject.ldt.feature.feature.group [1.2.0.200802220021] cannot be installed in this environment because its filter is not applicable.

even, luaeclipse1.3 can not fix this problem.

I will use SciTE as my tool.
