I just got a machine with Win7 on it, and would set up dual-boot to Ubuntu 12. My question is that should I choose 32bit or 64bit? Does it matter?
I would go with the 64bit system. This is because more and more systems are going to the 64bit model and also because you can do both 32bit and 64bit development on a 64bit system.
https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_setup_android
Operating Systems
Windows XP (32-bit), Vista (32- or 64-bit), or Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit)
Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later (x86 only)
Linux (tested on Ubuntu Linux, Lucid Lynx)
GNU C Library (glibc) 2.7 or later is required.
On Ubuntu Linux, version 8.04 or later is required.
64-bit distributions must be capable of running 32-bit applications.
Eclipse IDE
Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) or greater
Note: Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) is no longer supported with the latest version of ADT.
Eclipse JDT plugin (included in most Eclipse IDE packages)
JDK 6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)
Android Development Tools plugin (recommended)
Not compatible with Gnu Compiler for Java (gcj)
Other development environments
JDK 6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)
Apache Ant 1.8 or later
Not compatible with Gnu Compiler for Java (gcj)
Note: Some Linux distributions may include JDK 1.4 or Gnu Compiler for Java, both of which are not supported for Android development.

I need to install Eclipse 2018-12 modelling tools on my 32 bit machine.
In the official site it is available only for 64bit machines.
I tried to download Eclipse 2018-09 and then upgrade it to Eclipse 2018-12 but the upgrade process creates p2bu file and deletes the application files.
No, in Eclipse 2018-12 (4.10) the support of 32-bit platforms has been dropped.
See Eclipse 4.10 - New and Noteworthy - Dropped support for 32-bit platforms:
Eclipse and eclipse based applications no longer run on 32 bit
platforms or 32 bit JVM. Only 64-bit platforms/JVM are supported.
See also Eclipse bug 536766.
I'm re-installing Eclipse, after I installed Android Studio. To do so, I deleted and re-installed all Java installations. Now I can't start Eclipse even I have jdk and jre installed on my machine. I'm getting this message " A JRE and JDK must be available.
Any ideas what I suppose to do?
If you are using Windows.
Install the Eclipse according to the system you are using i.e., is it a x64 or x86, and Install the Java x64 and x86 Accordingly.
how to know my PC running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?
this should help.
I'd like to know if install4j is jdk 8 compatible or tested against or will be :)
Just found 1.7 Version to be tested on there site.
And if not what is the roadmap for next release supporting that?
Thx
Inge
Install4j installers work with Java 8. The install4j currently (as of 5.1.6) requires Java 6 or Java 7.
From their blog Migrating to install4j 6:
The minimum Java version for the install4j IDE and the compiler is now Java 7. If your build machine only has Java 6 installed, you have to install a Java 7 JRE. On Windows and Mac OS X, Java 7 JREs are bundled in the install4j downloads.
Therefore, I suppose install4j IDE version 6 supports also Java 8, because they did not specify maximal Java version.
I have tried using a clean workspace and a fresh installation of eclipse with nothing but pydev. In all cases, I don't get the pydev configuration options or preferences or views. The plugin install goes through without a hitch and I can see pydev in the installed software also. Anybody else face the same?
PyDev 3 requires Java 7 to function. Unfortunately, the version of Java that is installed on Mac OS X is not a compatible or recent version.
You can check the current version of java on your system by typing java -version in the terminal. In order to run PyDev 3 you should have version 1.7.xxx.
To update Java you will need to install a Java Development Kit (JDK), since just installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) will not update the symlink at /usr/bin/java on OS X. If you think that you have installed Java 7, but java -version still gives you a version of 1.6.xxx then you probably installed the JRE instead of the JDK.
I agree with pseudocubic, In my case I just downloaded JDK8 : which by the way includes the JRE8 so pydev worked without trouble in my mac . I had to do this after installing JRE7 but when checking in console java -version it was returning 1.6 version (despite the fact that checking at java icon in system preferences says 1.7 was installed)
Install JDK8 and it's done
http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/
I have a 64 bit installation of Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, i want to install the community edition of DS-5, but i can't.
I have the 32 bit version of Eclipse and the 32 bit version of an official JDK from Oracle.
When i use this URL
http://tools.arm.com/eclipse
in the Eclipse package manager i see 1 package but when in choose to install it i get this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse plug-ins for DS-5 Community Edition 5.10.0.20120515_072757 (com.arm.ds.community.feature.feature.group 5.10.0.20120515_072757)
Missing requirement: Eclipse plug-ins for DS-5 Community Edition 5.10.0.20120515_072757 (com.arm.ds.community.feature.feature.group 5.10.0.20120515_072757) requires 'org.eclipse.platform.feature.group [3.7.0,3.8.0)' but it could not be found
my best guess is that my copy of Eclipse ( Juno ) is too recent for this plugin.
ARM DS-5 seems not to work on Eclipse Juno at the moment. But it runs well on Eclipse Indigo and Oracle JDK 6 (32 bit in each case).
