Ok, Eclipse is working again I removed the entire directory again, and reinstalled it again. This time, it worked. Now, here's the question: I already have the SDK and the APIs installed, but I don't remember how to point Eclipse to them when they're already installed. Can anyone plese point me to the link in the developers guide that covers that? I seem to recall that there is a separate page covering that specific issue (that, or someone here helped me---it's been at least a year, though, and that's ALL I remember).

Go in the Eclipse configuration, for the Android tab in preferences, and point it at your SDK directory.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Eclipse install (Mac OS X) WAS fine...now it won't run
Regarding how long it takes to install software in Eclipse: There is a checkbox in the first software installation window, labeled contact all software sites. It's enabled by default. Switching it off makes the installation and updates go much faster. This requires that any dependencies are already installed, but, unless you've originally installed the wrong Eclipse flavor, they should be. 11.06.2012 23:21 пользователь Jim Graham spooky1...@gmail.com написал: On Mon, Jun 11, 2012 at 03:14:46PM -0400, Kristopher Micinski wrote: I had been informed by someone that the new release of Eclipse was faster than the old one, though it's still quite slow.

[android-developers] Re: Eclipse install (Mac OS X) WAS fine...now it won't run
Ah! So... the directory that, most likely, was corrupt is a directory in the workspace. It is called .metadata. That's probably all you needed to delete. Because this happens, occasionally, with eclipse, many developers separate the workspace from the projects. The workspace is a directory, somewhere, with absolutely nothing in it except the .metadata file. The actual projects live in some other directory tree, not rooted at the workspace. That means that you can delete, copy, or use an alternate workspace independent of the projects visible from it. G.
