First time I hear about AAB. It has 4 members, so no wonder you didn't get any answer. android-beginners and android-developers are official Android groups, and have 17K and 34K members respectively so you should get better/faster answers. They moderate first post though, to prevent spam and that can take a day or two. Another option is stackoverflow.com which works well and provide good answers. Now to answer your question: the SDK will work with both, but if you have a 64bit machine you should install a 64bit JDK. > And Lorenz answered, so hopefully that is all I need about that.

There is at least one known issue with it in the custom editors that we are working to fix (or rather to work around as the bug is in Eclipse itself). 3.4 or 3.5 are supported, as long as you choose a version that has JDT (Java Dev Toolkit) in it. Classic, Java, J2EE or RCP will work. Xav -- Xavier Ducrohet Android SDK Tech Lead Google Inc. Please do not send me questions directly.
