Eclipse installation

I get the following error when trying to create a project in Eclipse: parseSdkContent failed Could not initialize class android.graphics.Typeface

Also there is no "ADT" menu in my Windows version of Eclipse. Is this ok? This installation has given me fits!

The Android Development Studio installation and project was a lot smoother.

Hey George! I retired this course today but just wanted to drop a note in here in case you haven't finished it yet. You can still access the stages and videos with direct links, but let me know if you have any trouble.

That said, I'd highly recommend checking out the new version and the rest of the courses on the latest Android track. It should be much smoother. Cheers!

After many days of reinstalling and getting frustrated, I found some help on the web through some google searches. I ended up installing an older version of the adt bundle (20140321), limiting the version of Android SDK Tools to 22.6 in the SDK Manager. I still got a couple of errors when doing the Blog Reader track but found solutions when I googled the error message.
