调试ADT Eclipse插件安装

Question

I've installed the Android SDK and the ADT plugin, but Android doesn't show up in the Window>Preferences... dialog.

I'm running Galileo. If I go to the Installation Details part of the About Eclipse dialog, it says that I have 0.9.6 of Android DDMS and Android Development Tools. I can run adb from the command line. I tried going around the uninstall/reinstall loop once.

I'm on Windows Vista. I also have 2.7.7 of the Scala plugin installed, but I tried uninstalling that.

Any ideas on what I should try next? Thanks.

Answer 1

Is your eclipse installation running from the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folder? This was my case and I had this particular problem and a few more.

What I did was to place a fresh copy of Eclipse in a different folder (eg c:\\dev), launch it and to install the Android Plug-in using the Eclipse Update and it seems to work fine now.

I did not need to download again the Android SDK.

Answer 2

Sounds like you are missing a dependency. What you're describing happened to me once (I can't remember for sure, but I think it was with adt).

From http://developer.android.com/intl/de/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#installing :

Note that there are features of ADT that require some optional Eclipse components (for example, WST). If you encounter an error when installing ADT, your Eclipse installion might not include these components. For information about how to quickly add the necessary components to your Eclipse installation, see the troubleshooting topic ADT Installation Error: "requires plug-in org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui".

Answer 3

I had the same problem. Seems to be related to where Eclipse is installed, the path should not contain spaces, like David suggested.

I installed a fresh copy of Eclipse to c:\\Dev and installed the ADT. Now everything works fine.
