I want to know which Eclipse IDE to use for android development.
The following url http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ shows a lot of option.
Right now i am using Mac OS X v 10.6.4.
"We recommend the "Eclipse Classic" version. Otherwise, you should use a Java or RCP version of Eclipse."
Quote from Android Developers: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
Take the second - Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, 99 MB
Here's a link to Android SDK requirements.
Looks like Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) or greater is required at the time of this answer. Because you'll be using the ADT Plugin for Eclipse, check out this page for Eclipse version requirement and other info. The version will probably always match the one stated on the SDK page.
If you decide on Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from the above package, get it here.

Can anyone here please provide me with the proper link for Android SDK and Installation of SDK for Eclipse Mars, I have searched a lot, but I didn't find anything other than Android Studio,
I am using eclipse because android studio is not working on my laptop, its very heavy and my laptop takes more time to open and run the program,
so If any one has the better knowledge for downloading and installation, then please provide me here..
and What I am trying to looking at Android developer website, they changed it for only Android Studio. Whenever I open any old link, it is redirecting me to Android Studio, is It true?? Please provide me with some more detail about it.
Thank you
You can download eclipse ADT plugin from here (note that it is not the latest).
Also, there is one more helpful link for getting latest available releases for eclipse (ADT 23.0.7 since August 2015).
By the way, at least for me is very confusing that Android Studio working worse than eclipse. I found that Android Studio is far better than eclipse (but that is only my personal opinion).
Anyway, that is more important: Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android and migration to it is recommended. Eclipse is not supported anymore.
How about you download Eclipse Neon with the Andmore project?
While Eclipse is not officially supported by Google, this project has forked the Android ADT plugin and is being maintained on the side.
See http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I want to know whether the bundle contains the buggy version of Eclipse (I think Juno) as well as just for curiosity's sake whether they use classic or java or java ee.
4.2.
Look into the eclipse/readme/readme_eclipse.html file in the adt folder and you'll find versioning information.
If you are particular about which version of Eclipse you want, simply download your favorite version and the "SDK Tools Only" bundle then follow the "Existing IDE" directions.
It looks like the IDE bundle contains Juno (3.8) for Mobile Development, but I'm not 100% on that. I am unaware if this is the "buggy" version or if that's 4.x.
I've just upgraded to the Android SDK rev 20 and since then no way to install the ADT plugin in Eclipse 3.7.2. Although the package (Android DDMS, Android Development Tools) is referenced in the Eclipse installed software, I don't have shown-up any Android project or perspective, at the point that I can't set the SDK path in Windows/Preferences ...
I've also tried to re-install, nada. Accessory: Linux Ubuntu 12.04
Thanks for help!
SDK r20 works only with ADT r20 so you have to update your ADT too.
To update your ADT do the following procedure :
In eclipse go : Help -> Install New Software...
Now in Work with field type this link https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Now press enter. You will see some items in list view below. Select all and press next.
Now accept the agreement an click next.
This will update your ADT. an you should be able to see it in eclipse
For more information see : Android Developer Site
I was having the same problems on Ubuntu 12.10.
I found that this was due to the fact I was using Java 1.5. After upgrading to Java 1.7, the problem disappeared
What JVM is your default on Ubuntu? ADT requires a JVM that can handle keystores correctly. Using Sun Java 6 is fine.
Besides that, ADT has optional dependencies to some of the Web Service Tools (WST) for the XML editing related features. Maybe you can check whether that is correctly installed?
And if nothing else helps: Eclipse 3.8 and 4.2 have been released 6 days ago, so just using a fresh installation of Eclipse 4.2 together with ADT 20 might be the best choice in the long run.
We had a similar problem.
Solved it by going to Help -> Check For Updates.
Deselect everything except the items that specify version 20. Can't remember the exact list by heart.
Then click next and follow instructions.
Should sort out the problem.
Edit:
The most important one is the "Android Development Tools" itself from that list.
The other 3 Android are also important.
Setting the "-vm" option in eclipse.ini with a JDK 1.6 solved the problem for me.
Trying to uninstall/install did not help.
I downloaded Eclipse-Juno Version: 4.2.0.
But I am not able to install Android ADT on it. I am getting this error:
requires 'org.eclipse.wst.sse.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
System Configurations: Win-7, 32-bit
I tried installing ADT-15.0.1 and ADT-16.0.1, but they are not working.
I know the same issue is faced with versions lower version than 3.7, but why also with 4.2?
What package of Juno did you install? ADT requires part of the WST project, but I suspect that the Juno package you have doesn't include WST and probably doesn't include the update repository to automatically get it.
EDIT: Try using the Eclipse for Java EE Developers package as your starting point, as it includes WST features. Alternatively, you could try adding the Juno update site to your Eclipse and see if ADT gets it's required features. The Juno update site is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/
Yes, I installed Juno and that package I installed did not come with WST either.
I fixed this same problem by adding Juno update site at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/. You will find WST under "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development. For my own purpose I simply installed everything under this category and the problem went away.
try this https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-4.2
or use this -- > http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2 <-- for instal android
works for me
Glad I came across this question! That said though, it appears I only needed to install the Eclipse XML Editors and Tools part of Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development to resolve this. Cheers!
Install in eclipse:
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2
It works well for me too.
I had the same problem which I solved by downloading ADT-20.0.0.zip. I think different versions of eclipse support different versions of ADT.
I am starting Android development. Which of the many Eclipse downloads do I need from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ ?
I am only ever going to do Android dev with Eclipse ever.
Platform: MAC 64 bit Snowleopard
Check out the SDK requirements page:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html
On my Mac I am using the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers".
You either use Java developer or Jave EE, I am using the Java EE version
and then follwing the guide on developer.android.com to how setting up eclipse and adt
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers should be sufficient
