Mac works awesome. I develop on a MacBook Pro, I also use a Win Vista machine. No issue on either. I have developed on Ubuntu and it's equally good. The only difference is that Macs update their Java automatically and you don't need to install plugins to make your physical devices work with the machine.

Hi, You should set the JAVA_HOME variable and set the path for the JAVA_HOME\bin in your path variable. In my opinion you should use Eclipse becoz it reduce your manual effort for the building and setting the environment and commands.

[android-developers] Re: Beginner questions
Eclipse is not absolutely essential, but it is such a great convenience, you should take advantage of it unless you absolutely have to use another environment. Also, most Android development is taking place in the Eclipse environment, so you have lots of resources you can take advantage of if you stick with this majority solution. As for 64bit, there is a rumor running about that 64bit programs tend to be somewhat less reliable than 32bit. But I haven't noticed any problems with 64bit Linux versions (which is what I use).

It is not a must. On the other hand, It will probably make your life easier. There are other tools that may help as well: Java Design Pattern Framework for Android. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-designpattern/index.html Hal and intelligent Android On Dec 10, 3:51 am, JY Kim jkim...@gmail.com wrote: Hello.
