Which Eclipse for Android?

Should I use 32-bit Eclipse or 64-bit Eclipse开发者_运维技巧 for Android development? Im on a MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo). Does it matter which version for Android coding?

The Java virtual machine makes the difference between 32bit an 64bit mostly invisible to you. So no, it won't matter much.

The Android SDK will run on either :)

The general recomendation is to go with the J2EE version because it's packaged with the XML packages you'll want. If you go with the standard or other version you will just spend more time getting all those packages when you install the Android plug-in. Make sure to run upgrade software until it doesn't find anything else in Eclipse before installing the plug-in.

Whatever you do, make sure you get the Cocoa version. The Carbon was almost impossible to work with with big projects (100% cpu, 100% stack use, slow "Open Type", slow "Open Resource")
