Nice tutorial, but for Factory this already broke as eclipse got removed from Factory this morning:

I just downloaded eclipse archive from eclipse.org (2.5) Extracted it and launched eclipse. Added Google Android URL and installed the plugin. I think sticking to upstream eclipse releases is a much better job, as we are anyway not doing any distro-specific customization for openSUSE. Thoughts ?

Just in case you don’t know:

I think in “a few weeks” you may be interested into change at least for 2.1. But… who knows…

Did you really install Eclipse with zypper from the oss repo?
I tried this earlier and somehow I found out that I need to download Eclipse from eclipse.org and install it by myself instead of using the rpm package to get the Android section in the preferences.

Thank you, I’ve been fighting to install the Android SDK – I managed on Fedora 13, but not OpenSUSE 11.3
