I am currently using the Android developer Tools platform to develop android code, downloaded from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Now i want to develop Java servlets as well for my server side app and generate the WAR file. As i understand it, I can't use the ADT to develop servlets. Since i think it is basically an Eclipse IDE with the ADT plugin, can i simply install another plugin so that it supports servlet development? If yes, how do i do that exactly? Or do i need to install another eclipse? I am a complete newbie to Eclipse and Java, so please bear with me.
Install the Web Tools Platform. Be sure to find out which version of the Eclipse Platform you're already using first. http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F

I'm interested in trying out Titanium for mobile development, and it looks like the best way to do that is to use their customized Eclipse-based IDE. But, I currently use Eclipse for most of my web and android development, and I don't want to risk hosing that installation by installing the Titanium IDE.
So my question is... can Titanium Studio and a standard Eclipse installtion co-exist on the same machine without any conflicts?
Yes. You can install both Titanium Studio and Eclipse in same machine. This will not affect your eclipse and it won't make any conflicts. I have installed both together in my system and it works great.
I've been using Eclipse Classic for developing applications in Java installing plugins as I need. Now I'm thinking to develop an application using Eclipse RCP UI. I've read some tutorials online but they suggest to use Eclipse for RCP/RAP developers.
I've looked at this Eclipse Packages Compare page but I haven't quite figured out why I can't use Eclipse Classic to develop Eclipse RCP applications.
What plugins do I have to install to use Eclipse Classic for Eclipse RCP application development?
There is very little (practical) difference between those two packages. Classic (AKA, Eclipse SDK) includes more source code for the Eclipse bundles themselves, such as JDT and PDE, which can actually be useful when developing your own plugins and RCP apps); RCP/RAP obviously includes RAP, which is critical if you need it but pointless if you don't. RCP also includes EGit (again, nice if you need it) and the XML Tools.
I often start with the SDK (Classic) package and add stuff as I need it. There has even been talk of dropping the RCP package altogether, although it still hangs around.
What plugins do I have to install to use Eclipse Classic for Eclipse RCP application development?
Trust me, you're much better off unziping Eclipse for RCP/RAP developers in a different directory, and using that to develop your RCP application.
You're lucky that adding Eclipse plug-ins to your Eclipse Classic hasn't destroyed your Java development environment.
Where can I find a standalone eclipse plugin for blackberry? On the blackberry website in other to develop blackberry apps one has to download a full eclipse and the plugin which is about 400MB, that seems to me like a waste of resources since I already have an existing installation. Any pointers would be good.
You can install the BlackBerry java plugin to your existing eclipse via the BlackBerry Java Plug-in Update Site.
Here is the official instruction link .
You should have Eclipse 3.6+ version and Java 2 SDK v6.0 Update 16+ .
I am trying to learn about eclipse plugin development.I downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers in Helios distribution. I am able to create plugin development project using plugin development wizard. Now the problem is am not able to view the source code of eclipse plugin dependencies.I searched the internet for source attachments, but didn't find it.Any help is appreciated..
If you just want to play around with plug-in development, then you really don't need to integrate the different IDE capabilities, and can probably live with separate Eclipse installations and workspaces.
Actually, the more capabilities/Eclipse editions, you try to integrate, the more limits you set up for other plug-ins/features/capabilities. At some point, it can get impossible to integrate 3rd party capabilities such as those from TaskTop and Atlassian...
If you don't need the Java EE capabilities, consider using either the classic
Eclipse edition or the RCP edition.
For Eclipse plugin development download Eclipse Classic distribution which includes SDK from here.
Eclipse IDE for Java EE description:
Tools for Java developers creating Java EE and Web applications, including a Java IDE, tools for Java EE, JPA, JSF, Mylyn and others.
Eclipse Classic description:
The classic Eclipse download: the Eclipse Platform, Java Development Tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.
Cheers,
Max
Also, if you want to see the sourcecode of any plugin dependency, you can check it out from CVS at :pserver:anonymous#dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
Be careful to get the right version, though.
Cheers,

How to create Symbian s60 application using Eclipse?
Nokia's Carbide.c++ is built using Eclipse, but requires its own full installation. It's not an Eclipse plugin. Lots of information, including downloads at http://developer.nokia.com/community/wiki/Carbide.c%2B%2B
Installing the SDK for use with Eclipse
To use Eclipse with the SDK, install the applications below in the following order:
Java SE Development Kit (JDK)
Eclipse 3.4.1
Eclipse ME 1.7.9 or Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java v0.9.1
Series 40 6th Edition SDK
for sample example visit the link http://developer.nokia.com/resources/library/Java/getting-started.html
Why you don't want to use IDE from Nokia's Symbian SDK? This IDE is based on Eclipse.
