Yes on two points: 1) Not just for Android, but with just about any use of Eclipse you want to turn off auto build. I probably did that subconsciously when I set up Android.
2) There are several different versions of Eclipse and several different versions of the JDK. I used what seemed to be recommended for Eclipse versioin, plus my existing JDK, and it worked out. No doubt there are other versions that aren't so good. You can have several different versions of Eclipse on your box (I have at least 3) without them "fighting", so best to pick one specifically for Android vs trying to use one already installed for another purpose, and if you suspect you have the wrong version it's not that hard to try another.
