Reinstall Eclipse and Redo Crystal Ball Project

I'm trying to complete the Crystal Ball project in the Getting Started with Android tutorials. I'm not sure what I did, but the errors shown under the Problems tab were way more than was shown in the tutorial and I didn't know how to get rid of them ... I wanted to clear out all my work and start again, but I don't know how to delete or clear out everything I've done, so I can try to whole project again. Any help is appreciated.

The Treehouse bundle for Android development is completely self-contained. You can leave your current bundle as is (or feel free to delete the whole directory wherever you unzipped it). The project files are created within that directory in a folder called "workspace". You can just delete the files in there if you want.

If you want to reinstall the bundle - simply unzip it again in a different location. You can use it from the new location completely separately.

Also, as a side note, you had this categorized under "JavaScript." Despite the name similarity, Java and JavaScript are completely unrelated. "Java is to JavaScript as Car is to Carpet." I changed the category to Android (which is usually written in Java).

Love your comparison of Java and JS. Hah

Java is to JavaScript as Car is to Carpet.

That's definitely quotable, I'm going to have to remember that one.
