I downloaded this zip file named "eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-win32" twice and tried unzipping it using WinRAR and WinZip but everytime it throws an error...saying "does not appear to be a valid archive" Sad

I am new to this field ..is there anyone to help me out of this situation ???? Shocked

I am running a Windows 7 with Java SDK installed on it and planning to install Android SDK once the Eclipse out of the hat Smile

Waiting for that digital angel ....

Use 7zip.

Why are you downloading such an old version of Eclipse? Galileo was a
very good version, but Helios has proved to be rock-solid if you're too
squeamish to use Indigo.

Many a thanks Russell, gonna try with 7Zip. I am actually following a book on Android for absolute beginners so just downloaded Galileo as specified in there.

I stopped doing Android a year ago. You are welcome to peruse my
start-up article for whatever help it can be.

Sounds like you have a corrupt download. Try to download again.
Perhaps use a different mirror.
