ADT plugin and Eclipse 3.5

Question

I installed ADT plugin to Eclipse 3.5. But at Window → Preferences Android node is not shown.

Solution 1

Hallelujah. I removed ADT plugin, removed eclipse folder. Also I removed all mentions of eclipse from file system (several folders from user folder). Installed again. And it began work.

Solution 2

If you have the Subclipse plug-in also installed, then that could be keeping the ADT plug-in from working. They just don't seem to play well together. I created a second Eclipse installation for my Android work with ADT but without Subclipse. I use the other one for projects using Subclipse but not Android. Not ideal but good enough for the moment.

How did you install android?

Did you use the p2 'Install new software' as in:

like this tutorial?

See also this manual page, where you will see the update site address is the same, but the process depends on your eclipse version (for eclipse Galileo 3.5.x, the p2 mechanism is recommended)

A full reinstall of eclipse is better when in doubt (you do not even need to touch to your previous install: just unzip a new eclipse.zip somewhere): you can even reference your previous workspace (and plugins, if you have uncompressed them in a dedicated directory).
For those references, see my eclipse.ini for more.
(Note: there is no real full installation of eclipse, except for removing its directory)

Ok, I solved this slightly differently.

I am running Eclipse 3.5 under Windows 7 x64. I used the zipped version of Eclipse and originally decompressed it to c:\program files\eclipse

I found the only way I could get the ADT plug-in to work was to move the eclipse folder to a folder location with no spaces eg c:\eclipse and then run it as an administrator.

After that I just re-installed the ADT plug-in and it works!

Solution 5

I encountered the same problem and was able to resolve it by simply removing the eclipse and android sub-folders from beneath my C:\user folder.

I was able to leave the main Eclipse folder alone, but I did need to install the Android plugin again.

Yes, I installed by using Help->Install New Software. This problem occured after I have updated Eclipse (Help->Check For Updates). After that I tried to reinstall Eclipse and ADT plugin. Is there a way to full unistall Eclipse? After reinstalling (by removing eclipse folder) it still remember installed plugins.
