I have installed eclipse-SDK-4.2-macosx- to start testing the Android SDK

Eclipse installed but when double click on the Purple Icon, it just bounces on my Dock and never starts. After a minute or so it stays there. When I click it again it dissapears.

I have updated latest Java. Mac is 64bits

Does any one have any clue why is this happening?

Thanks

Gus

So it started failing after you installed the Android tooling? You could
try starting on the command line to see potential output.

I'm on 10.7.4 myself and have no problems with Eclipse

Hi Tom

Actually, Eclipse did not install...once I decompress it and click on ECLIPSE purple Icon...it bounces for 40 seconds and never gets to the point where it begins installing on the computer.

I downloaded the latest Java...nothing

Very strange !
