Hi! I am trying to get started with Android development on my Macintosh (Leopard 10.5.8, Intel chip). I have been trying to follow the instructions given at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html";>here</a> but much is unclear.
I have installed Eclipse Classic 3.5.1. The <a href="http:// developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html">system requirements page</ a> says that the Eclipse JDT plugin is required but how can I tell whether that is included in the Eclipse package I installed? The <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/ requirements.html">system requirements page</a> also says that I need JDK 5 or JDK 6. How can I tell if I have one of these installed? (I very well might because I was fooling around a bit with NetBeans several months ago, but I did not take notes on what I installed to get that working.) Does this help?: Macintosh:~ alex$ java -version java version "1.5.0_13" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13- b05-237) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing) Macintosh:~ alex$ javac -version javac 1.5.0_13 Worrisomely... If I click on <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/ downloads/index.jsp">the link for JDK 5 or JDK 6</a>, and then the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp";>Java Platform (JDK) download icon</a> the download page gives me a list of platforms to download for consisting of various Linux, Solaris, and Windows options, NOT Macintosh. Does JDK 5 and/or 6 exist for Macintosh? If so where do I get it? Thanks so much!!!! Lexi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
