1) Please read sticky posts at the top of the forum.
2) There is nothing in projects, even Android ones, that you don't put
there yourself.
3) I like to do that personally, but there is no technical reason
whatsoever for it.

Thanks for the reply but I'm hoping to see others.
Quote:1) Please read sticky posts at the top of the forum. I did. This is not an ADT-specific question like "how do I display the emulator, or code for a camera". This is about Eclipse and it's ability to start without specific plugins. That information would be of value to any Eclipse user which has a plugin like this.
I just found menu>Window>Preferences>General>Startup and Shutdown.
This has an option to uncheck ADT and other plugins. I don't know if this is equivalent to -clean, if either of these are preferable, or if there is another way to do this. Someone might say "why don't you just try it?" But I don't know if that will damage the environment for when I want to continue Android development.
Quote:2) There is nothing in projects, even Android ones, that you don't put there yourself. Correct, thanks. I created a new workspace and a Maven Project and found no Android artifacts in the project. The IDE still has Android toolbar buttons and menus, but those can be ignored.
Quote:3) I like to do that personally, but there is no technical reason whatsoever for it. I have some habits like that too, but I try to avoid them. If we can get solid answers to #1 then perhaps you and others won't feel a need to do that anymore. I've found that a system with multiple versions of any IDE can start to act erratically, especially when trying to upgrade.
