Ok and what is libgdx advantages over the regular eclipse?

It's a library made to develop 2D games so it has particular features like animations, sprite, textures, etc... and the most important thing is that it is based on OPENGL so it uses GPU, if you develop with eclipse alone your game will run only on CPU and it will have bad performance even with few objects on screen!
