How to run 32bit eclipse (ODeV) on 64 Bit Ubuntu 13.04

Question

How to run 32bit eclipse (ODeV) on 64 Bit Ubuntu 13.04?

Problem is 64 bit version of ODeV preconfigured eclipse does not exists.... so I have to use 32bit one which doesn’t start on U64 bit.

eclipse.buildId=M20110210-1200
java.version=1.7.0_25
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_CA
Framework arguments:  -product org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product
Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2013-10-19 14:13:18.526
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM

I have whatever default JRE installed via Ubuntu Software Center.... I assume it is 64bit - OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime

And if I wont figure this out, installation of Ubuntu on my laptop is doomed.... to much hassle with everything... :(
