You should ask an IT person to install the compiler for you.

all the info and steps are on those links.. just verify you have met all the prerequisites and stop trying to take shortcuts, eg if you were trying to install eclipse for android ..do you have JDK installed

not getting involved further ..just saying all the info you need is there

lol link to eclipse site has info about installation bugs etc it may be a bit of reading and steps to get it running properly for your environment and specific needs but once you get past all that you can get to the actual programming, dunno why they seem to think programmers like reading documentation, however extensive it may be.

i've done a couple android apps. but eclipse is just to extract and run, no installation (prob the windows version needs to install). i've used either:
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers or Eclipse Classic 3.7.1 from here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

once you have eclipse running you install the latest JDK, ADK and ADT plugin for eclipse.

perhaps if you specify the exact issue i can help more.

and unless you have a mac don't bother with iOS, cause i tried installing xcode on vmware and it took hours to install, and then ended up not running

Very srs. A lot of code monkeys still need help from network admins and tech support to do the simplest things sometimes.

I see that it is just a download and run application but this is the problem that I'm getting

its not locating the JDK

You didn't set the path to the JVM.

seems it may be a jdk issue:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/171274/

do you have the latest jdk installed? may need to install the one for 32 or 64 bit. you need the jdk at least to get eclipse running

^^ yea that seems like the problem, but as a beginner I wont recommend Eclipse. Try Jcreator. Its like coding in notepad lol.

Start by not insulting the people that, ya know, could actually help you with iOS. And secondly, by showing some respect for a recently deceased great man, whose philosophy you can't possibly begin understand.

You're probably right. I'm not the only one.

But I am THE ONE in this small part of Latin America.

Good luck, my friend.
