In general, using Eclipse with ADT is a highly recommended -approach and is the fastest way to get started. This section describes -how to install ADT into your Eclipse environment. - -<p>If you prefer to work in a development environment other than Eclipse, -you do not need to install Eclipse or the ADT Plugin. Instead, you can -access the SDK tools directly to build and debug your application. </p> - -<p>Once you have Eclipse installed, as described in <a href="#setup"> -Preparing for Installation</a>, follow the steps below to -download the ADT plugin and install it in your respective Eclipse -environment. </p> - -<table style="font-size:100%"> -<tr><th>Eclipse 3.3 (Europa)</th><th>Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)</th></tr> -<tr> -<td width="45%"> -<ol> - <li>Start Eclipse, then select <strong>Help</strong> > <strong>Software Updates</strong> > <strong>Find - and Install...</strong>. </li> - - <li>In the dialog that appears, select <strong>Search for new features to install</strong> and click <strong>Next</strong>. </li> - <li>Click <strong>New Remote Site</strong>. </li> - <li>In the resulting dialog box, enter a name for the remote site (e.g. Android Plugin) and enter this as its URL: - <pre>https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</pre> - <p>Alternatively, you can use http in the Location URL, if you are having - trouble with https (https is preferred for security reasons).</p> - <pre>http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/</pre> - <p>Click <strong>OK</strong>.</p> </li> - <li>You should now see the new site added to the search list (and checked). - Click <strong>Finish</strong>. </li> - <li>In the subsequent Search Results dialog box, select the checkbox for - <strong>Android Plugin</strong> > <strong>Developer Tools</strong>. - This will check both features: "Android Developer Tools", and "Android - Editors".
