ADT dependency errors in Helios [SOLVED] [message #655458]

Hi. I'm new to Eclipse and programming in general. My problem is with trying to import ADT in Linux64 Helios. I'm using: ADT - https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ but when I select all and click next I receive a slew of dependency errors:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Not really sure what this all means. Could someone translate for me?

Do you just need help getting Eclipse set up for Android development? If
so, I can offer this article on my experiences that also refers to a
great, first tutorial.

This looks like a lot of great info. I'll give this a thorough inspection. Quick question though: I'm using openJDK 1.6.0.xxx rather than Sun's/Oracle (whoever it belongs to anymore) JDK because that's just what was available in the Fedora repos. Do you recommend using the Sun JDK instead?

I'd get the JDK from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/inde x.html (See
below.) It's up to you whether you install it for your computer host. I
always copy (that is, privately and not as my host's actual
installation) it for specific use by Eclipse and point to it from
eclipse.ini. I do this whether I'm on Linux or Windows. That way, I'm
not getting Java updates to my Eclipse/Java toolstack unless I do them
and I don't have to think about what's running Java on my host.

1. Click on JDK under the big Java badge
2. Select platform
3. Agree to the EULA
4. Grab the file to bring down (jdk-6u24-xxx-xxx.xxx, etc.)

I tried to wipe my Eclipse install and start from scratch but ended up not being able to launch it after reinstalling. Kept giving me tons of errors about missing bundles. Something is screwy about the version that of Eclipse I was using from the Fedora repo. I scrapped it and installed fresh from the Eclipse website and ADT installed no problem. I hate when repo packages get borked like that.

Anyway, thanks for the info and hopefully I'll get up to speed enough on this Android business so that I can publish an app in the Market in lieu of my final this semester. Cheers. Cool

Never, never, never install Eclipse from any Linux
distribution/repository. Always get it new from eclipse.org. There are
some weird exceptions to this on certain hardware and OS combinations,
but they are rare.

If you need help getting a good Eclipse up, check out

Ignore the bit about using only Galileo for Android development: Helios
works fine.

Lesson learned. I took your advice and copied the JDK to my home directory. Makes sense.
