tl;dr Basically, right now everything is an android project, even my
Java stuff. I can't find a workspace view to choose between projects. File->Switch Workspace just gives "Other", choose that and it's pointing to my workspace. Open HelloWorld.java in the editor, try to build, get a menu with 2 identical lines dealing with "use
Ant build". Choose one, says it can't find an ant something or other. Makes sense, I have no idea what ant is and never needed one before.
Could the problem be that I just copied my java workspace from the old lappy to the new one, with the new one having a different path (cygwin vs cygwin64)?
System is Windows 8.1, fully updated.
Details.
I recently got a new laptop. Installed Eclipse, was installing the Android plugins when Windows finished installing it's patches and wanted to restart. I clicked OK. Oops
Reinstalled the droid plugins, said they were already installed. Then why won't you use them?
Uninstalled the droid plugins, reinstalled. Still won't run.
Removed Eclipse and droid plugins,plus workspace/.metadata. Reinstalled, now it's worse than ever.
I'm a Java newbie, an Eclipse newbie, a long time hater of IDEs (long story), prefer cygwin command line. Javac and java from the command line work fine, but now I need a debugger (got a
thread that won't start for some reason).
Wat do?
