Unfortunately, the "getting started" docs don't help you trouble shoot installing JDK 5 or 6, or Eclipse. My issue involves the installation of these two apps on Vista, which is probably my problem.
My first issue was with eclipse, when I ran the app (from my desktop) it failed to find ../eclipse/jre/bin/javjw.exe file, so I simply copied the jre directory from my java install into the eclipse folder. When I ran eclipse again, I got an app exit code of -1 (whatever that means) and some more jargon about needing java version 1.5 (i had 1.6), so I downloaded 1.5 but I don't think it's compatible with Vista because it wouldn't install. I found some answers on the internet about adding the java bin directory path to the classpath variable under the environment variables, but no luck. Is there a way to get the vista compatible versions of jdk and eclipse and is there a certain order to installing them and android? Thanks.
