This looks like a Windows issue, and to be honest I gave up on Windows when it comes to development a while ago. It's either Linux or Mac. However, that being said, here's a link that may help you out. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5411238/android-sdk-android-bat-does-not-find-swt-jar-file

Also, don't necessarily follow everything blindly in the course. What you want is basically Android Studio installed and with a SDK's added for your AVD manager. Download the latest Android Studio and update it. It will probably do 2 updates and get you version 1.0 RC4, which is tons better than 0.8.x was. This second option is what I would do. Good luck! ;)

Close the project then go to project structure, then you can choose the jdk location from there.
