Alright, I created an ubuntu partition, installed git, repo, eclipse, downloaded the eclair branch of android and built it. Created a Java project using 'existing src' with the android root directory. Was wondering how I should run/step through the Desk Clock application. Since there is no ADT plugin, If I "Run as Java Application" it simply brings up a list of internal and library modules like Svc, Command shell... Should I run the emulator in the debugger and then click on the alarm clock app? (Debugging the emulator with Eclipse http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html)
