ADT Bundle for Mac: Eclipse cannot be started

votes

I downloaded Android Developer Tools Bundle for Mac from here. The System Requirements section says it needs "Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later (x86 only)". I tried to start Eclipse.app in adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/eclipse, but I got the following error message:

You can't open the application Eclipse.app because it is not supported on this type of Mac.

I have a Macbook with 32-bit Intel Core Duo CPU and Mac OS X 10.6.8 and JRE 1.6.0_39. Why can't I start Eclipse from the ADT bundle? If I install Eclipse Classic 4.2.1 32-bit from here, it works.

Go there and make sure you choose 32 bit for the download. That should resolve your issue.

do not line up. It would appear that you are trying to use a 64-bit Eclipse on a 32-bit environment, based on your description.

There does not appear to be a 32-bit OS X version of the ADT bundle, so you may need to install the SDK Tools and Eclipse separately rather than use the bundle.
