I downloaded ADT from Google which comes with Eclipse. However, when I tried to run Eclipse for the first time, I got a nasty little error about not finding the JRE. JRE stands for Java Runtime Environment, and as far as I can tell, it must be the equivalent of the .net framework. I went into Control Panel and uninstalled anything in there that said Java. Then I put Java JRE into Google and downloaded Java JRE 7 for Windows 64 bit from an Oracle website. Once I installed it, I found the files in the Program Files\Java\jre7 folder. I copied this into the AndroidSDK folder where the eclipse.exe file is. I then renamed it from jre7 to just jre and voila, it worked. The nasty error message did say where it was looking for the jre, so thats how I knew where to put the files.
What a start. Hopefully, everything about android development isn't this weird.
