I'm just getting back to java, and went and downloaded the latest Eclipse Oxygen. Once it's all installed, I try to launch and get the following error dialogue.
So I went and downloaded Java 8 and installed that. Once again I tried to open Eclipse. It still displays the exact same answer. Any idea on how to fix this?
On macOS you must install the full JDK - the JRE install isn't enough.
Get the full JDK from the Oracle site here.
If you install Java 9 you will need to use at least Eclipse Oxygen.1a (4.7.1a) but preferably the current Eclipse, for eariler versions of Eclipse install Java 8.
Fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install alongside windows 8.1 on brand new system and HDD *UEFI partition.
First steps I took on Ubuntu 14.04 was installing open-jdk-7 and Eclipse with ADT and everything worked correctly.
I wanted Oracle-JDK-7 and to remove open-jdk-7.
I first removed eclipse adt, removed all updates/installs from ADT Package manager then removed open-jdk-7
I installed the Oracle-JDK-7 via the terminal then I reinstalled eclipse adt. eclipse adt will not run correctly or at all now.
the errors I am getting (Not exact word for word)
*This program will not run, cannot locate adb ddms tools
*Android-sdk-linux/ directory does not exist or cannot locate file or no such archive
when I point eclipse (from within eclipse) to the android-sdk it then switches the error to "cannot run program missing adb ddms tools"
my own troubleshooting so far
re-installed open-jdk-7 alongside oracle-jdk-7 and set default version and default javac to both open-jdk-7 *which I decided I want.
Installed android-sdk standalone (with eclipse removed from system) and extracted to the home directory
From the terminal I entered the directory and bash does not recognize android-sdk-linux claiming there is no such file or directory even though it is clearly there.
I believe I narrowed the problem down to just the Android-sdk which includes the platform tools, not being found for some reason...
I am new to Linux...
I do not know how to set JAVA_HOME in linux/ubuntu 14.04 (not sure if that is relevant to this issue)
I know in windows you must delete metadata. folder before installing eclipse adt again.
In my experience, Eclipse Adt always runs perfect on first time install on new system
In my experience all errors and unstable behavior from eclipse adt show up after I replace original install (on both windows and linux platforms Eclipse ADT never runs the same as first install)
I hope someone may be able to point out something I did or am doing wrong in the current situation and overall as I am stumped as to why Eclipse-ADT will not run after remove and new install.
Is there a specific way to completely remove every trace of eclipse ADT?
Do I have to create a directory from the terminal for eclipse, eclipse adt, android sdk any combination?
Being new to linux I am not even sure if I set up both JDK's correctly or if I caused damage to my overall install.
Please go easy on me guys... I checked things out before resorting to asking, in fact this is my very first question as I usually always figure things out on my own... I am really stumped and not quite comfortable enough with linux Ubuntu 14.04 to mess around with my particular situation any further. I humbly ask for precise instruction on how to get eclipse adt to run and behave the way it did on first install... and also if necessary how to set JAVA_HOME (I want open-jdk for building android aosp and oracle jdk for building apps)
Is it possible in ubuntu 14.04 to install eclipse adt and have it use open-jdk and install android studio and have it use oracle jdk all on the same ubuntu install... how would I go about creating the directories?
I know this is a very lengthy question with alot of details... I must get my Ubuntu 14.04 install production ready asap
I use Eclipse ADT along with Oracle JDK 7 in my ubuntu 14.04.
This is how I have done the setup,
Ubuntu comes with Open JDK. No need to remove it. Once you install Oracle JDK , it will become your default JAVA_HOME. So no need to worry much about the configurations.
To Install Oracle JDK 7:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
After installing check with "javac -version" command.
Now just get a fresh Eclipse ADT for Linux from here
Unzip it , Get into Eclipse directory and open the eclipse executable.
You will be all set to start your android development with Eclipse ADT and Oracle JDK 7.
For Studio, Just get the studio from developer site and execute the studio.sh file which is present inside the bin directory of Studio. Thats it.
Hope it helps :)
I am using os x 10.9.1
I need to install google plugin for eclipse for using google web toolkit. I have eclipse juno, so I just follow link for install it. But it not work for me, not go ahead because below issue

Open eclipse.ini form your eclipse folder and set the following parameter as shown in image
-vm
//your java7-dir/bin/javaw.exe (use mac javaw in your case)
After installing the BrightScript Eclipse Plugin for Roku development it acted like it installed fine but is not visible anywhere in Eclipse. What am I doing wrong?
I figured this out although I wasted a good part of two days trying to uninstall and reinstall the plugin on various eclipse versions. If you look here:
http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Eclipse+Plugin+Guide
and look at the release notes for the 9/30/2013 release you'll see that it says the plugin is disabled if not running Java 1.7 or higher. I believe eclipse for mac ships with a version of Java but it must be older than this. I went here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
and downloaded the latest version and there it was. Hope this saves someone else some time.
I am running CentOS 5.5 x86_64 with JDK 1.6, Eclipse Galileo, and the 0.9.7 ADT is installed; however, after installation, the Android project type is not available. I have checked in the installed packages list and it is installed. Anybody encounter this problem before? Could it be due to my use of the 64-bit java VM that is installed on my system?
This usually happens when you dont select any android SDK in "Preferences > Android" You just have to reset the perspective in eclipse, Windows > Reset Perspective.
Hope this is still helpful.
Hope you have already set the Android Preferences if not Window -> Preferences-> Android and browse to the android SDK folder.
In rare cases even after doing this step, Android Project option doesn't show up in File -> New. But you can get it by File -> New -> Project .. and choose the android project from the options displayed.
Ok. I reinstalled eclipse and android. I think the problem was that I hadn't unpacked the android tools first. The plugin was installed, but it had nothing to talk to! Anyway, all the android related stuff now shows up in Eclipse.
Using Windows 7, 64-bit edition, with the latest Eclipse (Indigo) and the latest ADT plugin, I had the exact same problem. No Android project type, no Android in Windows/Preferences.
Like #Rubberman I solved the problem by totally re-installing Eclipse. Eclipse doesn't seem to use the standard Add/Remove Program stuff in Windows; I just deleted the Eclipse install directories and my Eclipse workspace directory, re-installed Eclipse, and re-installed the ADT plugin.
I would have liked to have just removed the plugin and re-installed without deleting the whole of my Eclipse install, but I couldn't figure out a way to do that. I don't see any way to remove a plugin, and when I tried to choose ADT for installation Eclipse gave me an error, saying "I can't install that because it is already installed."
I Know its a very old post..but still it may help someone with same problem...
I wanted to jst share that we can uninstall the plugins without the need of reinstalling eclipps..by simply going to 'already installed application' link and selecting all the android related options and simply clicking on uninstall button..Now you can add fresh android sdk to your ecllips..I have tried it and it works..
Hope, I helped aomeone..:-)
Ok, been looking for the answer to this for an hour, it's not well mentioned.
if you are using linux then you need to add 2 more things to install ADT correctly:
GEF from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases
WST Server Adapters from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/ (modify for your release)
do it the same as the adt plugin install.
maybe you need to uninstall then reinstall the adt plugin after?

You have to install the Eclipse plugin called ADT.
