"That said, Eclipse and the Android SDK is a pain to install even if you are a java wizard." Why? I just followed Google's instructions and it was breeze to install Android SDK...

It wasn't always so easy.

My first install went pretty well. Then I upgraded my Linux box and installing it didn't go well. So I upgraded to the newest Eclipse and it worked okay.

Then I upgrade Eclipse and it broke, so I went back.

Then I tried to install it on Windows and it was so painful that I just gave up and remoted into my Linux box.

Recently, I tried Windows again and it went like a dream.

Installing Eclipse and Android SDK should be easy right now, but they weren't always.
