Hello-

I use a cloud program to store my projects. At work I use a PC and at home I use a mac. I store my files in the cloud. Currenly its SugarSync, inside the magic briefcase.

When I work on the PC then switch to the mac, i get this error message:
(this is in regards to the location of the SDK, not recognizing the
windows style path)

index.php/fa/16402/0/index.php/fa/16402/0/

Vice Versa when I switch back to the PC from the mac:

Is there a way to have a path that is comaptable on both machines or some way to hardcode the path location to the specific machine so I no longer have to toggle the SDK location each time I switch over?

Thanks
J

As a general note, workspaces aren't designed to be shared across
computers. However, projects are designed to be shared. If you share
anything make sure it is only projects. The Eclipse platform has a
mechanism for creating linked resources
(Windows->Preferences->General->Linked Resources I think?) so that paths
can be made relative to a variable. You set the location of the
variable in each workspace.

That being said, you are asking about an Android SDK. The Android tools
run on the Eclipse platform, but are developed by Google. I have no idea
whether Google has incorporated this feature in the development tools.
This forum doesn't have Android experts, so your best bet is to locate
the resources that Google provides for the Android SDK support.

This is a valid feature request for the Android team - post it there and post a link here

May I ask - do you edit the eclipse.ini to point to the JDK ? I mean the JDK is in (say) C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25 and in the mac /I/have/no/cluejdk1.7.0_25 - does eclipse start normally ?

@David Wegener: workspaces are not meant to be shared ? tough - they should have been Wink
I am sharing between my windows machines - hey we are in cloud era
I had the same problem (eclipse not finding Java) - till I installed Java on the exact same path on my windows machines
Works like a charm - but should have been supported out of the box

There are good reasons that workspaces aren't designed to be shared. That is why projects are designed to be shared. If you took the time to learn how to use the tool, you would have understood this and would not have problems with not being able to locate JRE/JDK installation.
