So I wanted to take a look at the new Android SDK. But I'm completely confused as to which version of Eclipse I should download/install.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Do I want the one for Java Developers? Or the Classic? Or...?

Can anyone give me a clue?

I am using the Java one. However the layout editors are not working right so not sure if that is the correct one, or I have something else wrong. Everything else works fine and the one problem does not keep me from developing.

Update=====
I downloaded the classic. Added the android plugin and pointed it at my android sdk and the layouts work now.

Update 2====
Closing Eclipse and restarting causes the layouts to no longer work

I ended up just downloading the Java one, too.

I haven't really done anything with the layout editor yet -- working with the raw XML for now. Who knows.

I have dowloaded both now. And for each one, if you trash the .metadata in the workspace the editor works on restart. Then fails again after restarting again.
