android - Eclipse ADT: Java was started but returned exit code=13

Question

Could someone one clarify why my Eclipse (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) from ADT won't start?

Every time I'm getting this error:

Error occurs when IDE(eclipse) bit-version (i.e. 32 or 64 bit) and jre bit-version mismatch! I have downloaded the 64 bit version and it showed me the exact error. But 32-bit version worked really fine. JRE version (1.6 or 1.7) doesn't matter. I think you dont need to downgrade. Because in my case, I had Java Version 1.7.0_45, whereas SDK requires 1.6, but it still worked perfectly fine!
