I have to set the JAVA_HOME to 64bit version JDK to properly run eclipse64 bit. Similar setting has to be done for 32Bit Eclipse version so JAVA_HOME needs to be set 32 bit JDK version. Otherwise I am having "Failed to load the JNI shared library" error.

I have two eclipse versions installed in my windows machine, and I do not want to set corresponding JAVA_HOME before running each eclipse version.

Is there are way of unique setting for both eclipse running?

You can specify the VM in eclipse.ini.

For Windows this would look something like this:

-vm
C:\Java\JDK\1.6\bin\javaw.exe

Yes, they should be on two separate lines.

Be sure to specify that before any -vmargs parameter, as everything after that is interpreted as arguments to the VM (see this question for details).

You can specify desired JAVA_HOME in eclipse.ini file. Refer documentation for details.

You just have to explicitly set the VM argument in each eclipse.ini (32bit and 64bit): " -vm /path/to/javaw.exe" (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini)

where the path correspond to the location of the appropriate JDK (32bit/64bit)
