Can I develop android applications using Eclipse IDE for Java EE?

I have downloaded Eclipse Helios for Java EE on my Mac. Now I want to develop an Android application. Can I use the same IDE for developing that android application?

I am using Eclipse IDE for Java EE to create webservices for applications. Also, now I got requirement to develop Android applications. Thats why, I want to use same IDE for both. Is that possible?

Yes, you just need to get the Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Then you will need to get the Eclipse plug in by going to Help > Install New Software and input the link: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ . This will give you the plugin you need.

All this can be found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html

Newest Android SDK's work with the newest versions of Eclipse(you would have a problem few months back, especially in Linux).

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html This is really informative. You can also find whatever you want to start developing. Have fun

You should be able to. Just make sure you download the Android SDK and ADT.
