Eclipse Part 1

I have been watching some tutorials on setting up and using Eclipse, I am looking to try and broaden my knowledge of java as well as hopefully make a couple of apps that people will want to use.
I will post a link to the tutorials I used but I also want to talk you through my experience.

Firstly, you need to download the Eclipse software and the Android SDK software, links to both of these are on the links page.
You need to select the 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' file.


You will then be asked what OS toy have and asked to select a mirror site for the download if you require.



After you have downloaded Eclipse, install in the usual way. During the install it will ask you to select a Target directory for the workspace, make sure you remember where you save it to as you will need to find it later.



Continue with the install, when finished, open the program where you will be greeted with the welcome screen.


Select workbench and you should then get this screen.


OK, so that's Eclipse downloaded and started, in the next part I'll show you how to set up the SDK and the virtual console.

Lastly, a big thank you to all those who have checked out my blog, please leave comments.

See you soon,

INE
