    Did you try telling Eclipse to use the JVM 1.6 instead? If a JVM is installed in the eclipse/jre directory, Eclipse will use it.

    Mavericks is 64-bit—what exactly is preventing the installation of JVM?

    Why do you think you have a 32 bit OS?

Mavericks is a 64-bit OS; it has no 32-bit option... You can run 32-bit apps in it & run 64-bit apps in 32-bit mode, but the OS itself, afaik, is only available in 64-bit.

32-bit Macs cannot run Mavericks.

Edit - 32-bit mode picture...
