Could someone please post some working steps or the way ADT Plugin can get installed in Eclipse? When I launch Eclipse and try to add the ADT Plugin, I get this error:
Code:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Android DDMS 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762 (com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.feature.group 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762)
  Missing requirement: Android DDMS 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762 (com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.feature.group 18.0.0.v201203301601-306762) requires 'org.eclipse.ui 3.6.2' but it could not be found
Any Ideas?

Any Ideas?

I can only imagine, that I am using an old version of Eclipse. However, the latest version on portage is 3.5.1-r1. Isn't there any other version masked in portage? How can I install the latest version of Eclipse? Would I lose in performance if I download the zipped file from Eclipse.org?

Just download and unzip it to your home directory, for example. Why should you lose any performance? From the README of Eclipse

Quote:

Most of the Eclipse SDK is "pure" Java code and has no direct dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the Java Platform itself.


So, there's not much to optimize by compilation here :)

Do you mean that I should just go and download/use the Eclipse binary then?

Yes. The way that Eclipse is designed make it difficult for Gentoo to package it following FHS and managing dependencies.
There is a discussion on this topic on b.g.o. Search it for the full argumentation on why the Eclipse ebuild is not up-to-date.
