Apps Newbie help - Configuring ADT in Eclipse

[TruckBytes]

I am running Linux Mint Version: 3.7.2 Build id: I20110613-1736 and installed Eclipse Version: 3.7.2 Build id: I20110613-1736. I then downloaded android-sdk_r23.0.2-linux and ran the only install available within the zipped file which was titled android. Once complete I re-started Eclipse but there is no options within the "Window" tab or on the tool bar to begin any android app.

This is my first attempt to learn any type of programming so very simple instructions to help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
Joel

Android Studio would not install. Said it needed a newer version of JDK. I am running JDK6 and that is the newest stable version of JDK that I can find.

I m having the same problem on Windows 7 64 bit. It wants a valid JVM not a JDK. I have tried eclipse and followed instructions. I can't get any help on this but will watch this.

I'm going to keep trying to get an answer for eclipse. It has a proven successful track record. I just need to figured out what I did wrong when setting it up.
