Is there a versioned Eclipse available for download that is known to work with this course? (a la Build a Weather App)

I tried this course once before using Android Studio (with the understanding that it'd be a bumpy ride) and gave up because I kept getting hung up on the differences between AS and Eclipse. I'd like to try this course again using a known version of Eclipse, but don't want to blindly use the latest version available on developer.android.com for fear of similar compatibility issues.

So, my question is this: could someone provide me with a link to a version of Eclipse that is known to work with this course?

Thanks!

Below the video in the teachers notes there are downloads to versions of Eclipse that I believe Ben was using at the time the video was made.

Is there a problem with using one of those?

Thanks for the response. I have no idea how I missed that ...

Unfortunately, there's no Linux option (as there is in the newer courses).
