Eclipse Download For Linux Mint
So far, my previous blogs on Linux Mint 13 has described how to install Java and the Android SDK. If you have followed the blogs, you will now be ready for the next step towards Android software development and that is to install a Java programming environment called Eclipse. Of course, first we have to install this (if it has not been installed yet).
The install process is very simple - you can use either Synaptic or the command line to carry out this job. To use Synaptic, start Synaptic, enter your password, then type 'eclipse' into the search box. The entry for Eclipse will appear - mark it for installation, and the rest of the additional items, and then click on the 'Apply' button. Wait for download and install process to finish, close Synaptic and you are done!To use the command line, start a terminal, and type:sudo apt-get install eclipseType 'Enter' when prompted, wait for the packages to be downloaded and installed, close the terminal and you are done!.
Eclipse For Linux
Before you start Eclipse, you need to determine whether the necessary SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) libraries link are set properly - else Eclipse will complain that it cannot start because it cannot find the swt library. Everything went smoothly until I got to this step, 'At the end of this process, you will be prompted to restart Eclipse - do so. When you arrive at the main workbench, you will see a window (see below) welcoming you to Android development - here you will have to configure the Android SDK.' When Eclipse restarted, I was not asked to configure the SDK and I can't figure out how to manually configure it within Eclipse.Any recommendations on what I can do to configure the SDK?In addition, shouldn't the graphic for configuring the SDK show the 'Use Existing SDK' be selected rather than the 'Install New SDK' radio button?Thanks.
