Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

Trying to install Android plugins, but cannot satisfy it's package requirements.

Seems the android plugin requires wst, which requires jem, which requires com.ibm.icu.

Not sure what packages I need from what repositories; have tried numerous combinations w/o success.

After much googling, I've yet to find anyone using Eclipse for Android dev on Ubuntu 10.04.
FYI, I can compile android apps with ant from the command line, and run the editor.

But try as I might, I can't seem to satisfy plugin requirements for Google's Android
  Developer Tools
    Android DDMS 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220
    Android Development Tools 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220

from
  https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse

So many permutations, I don't know what is required.

  Ubunto 10.04 Lucid Lynx

com.ibm.icu is installed[1], the problem is that the plugin/feature you
are installing[2] has version restrictions that finds 4.0.1 to "high".

[1] /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.icu_4.0.1.v20100122.jar

[2] org.eclipse.jem.util

Niels,

Any workaround? Can I install an older version of ibm.icu?
If so, how?

Seems like I can install packages either from within Eclipse (Help > Install New Software)
...or from System > Synaptic Package Manager.
...or from Applications > Ubuntu Software Center
...or from System > Hardware Drivers, for some things.

Getting a bit off-topic here, but I'm a bit confused about the interrelationship between all these pieces.

Are they all built upon the same 'apt-get' command-line tool?

The Eclipse package manager seems much less 'intelligent' about dependencies than the Ubuntu tools.
It must have it's own dependency mechanism, which unfortunately takes minutes and several dialog
boxes before returning 'failure' :-(.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Need to get the Android plugin working, cant' find any definitive info on the internet.

Hi again

You *may* be able to install an older version by downloading it from [1]
and putting it in /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/ - (close eclipse before
doing this).

Synaptic and "Ubuntu Software Center" are as I recall APT front-ends, I
would not be surprised if the "Hardware Drivers" thing is as well.

Eclipse has its own system, though I am not sure it is less intelligent.
It is just designed for a different thing. Unlike APT, the Eclipse
install is designed to allow multiple versions of the same software to
be installed.

One of the reason why APT may seem faster is that it creates a
machine-dependent cache, which allows it to "map" its cache into memory
and repair a few pointers.

Niels,

Thanks for all the help and info. You can close this bug!

I un-installed Eclipse (and some other packages), then re-installed Eclipse by simply downloading and unzipping it, and everything worked perfectly.

I'm not sure how I installed Eclipse the first time, maybe from Synaptic. Whatever I did, didn't work, but re-doing everything fixed whatever problem there was. For anyone else out there, here's how to do it:

As described in
  http://onthefencedevelopment.com/?p=455
I just downloaded and unzipped from
  http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/galileo/SR2/

And here’s how to download an .apk to a physical device:
  http://www.gubatron.com/blog/2010/05/28/solved-eclipse-cant-see-my-android-device-on-ubuntu

At first I was only getting ???????? showing for the Droid phone.
Running the adb commands as sudo seemed to make it all work.
I never even bothered with the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file.

Cheers,
dave
