Why You Can’t Upgrade to Java 17 (32-bit)

No official 32-bit builds for Java 17 or newer are distributed by major vendors (Oracle, Eclipse Temurin, Azul, Amazon Corretto, etc.).

Eclipse and modern IDEs require a 64-bit JVM to enable Java 9+ language features.

Third-party community builds for 32-bit Java 17 aren’t maintained, making them unstable and unsupported.

Conclusion: You cannot run Java 17 in 32-bit mode on supported toolchains.

Recommended Migration Path

Overall Strategy:-

Since Java 17 only comes in 64-bit, you will need:

A 64-bit operating system

A 64-bit JDK 17

A 64-bit Eclipse IDE (or another IDE like IntelliJ or VS Code)
