I've downloaded a new ADT version(20140702) from developer.android, but i just little bit curious, usually my ADT start with Android Developer Tools splash screen, but after i downloaded a new version, it's open as Eclipse Juno Splash Screen.

I know ADT is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give a powerful, integrated environment in which to build Android applications.

Thanks.

PS.

I not updated my ADT, i just downloaded from that link and run eclipse.exe as usual

I have read that currently the new ADT is bugged and you must download Eclipse Juno then install the ADT Plugin manually developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html – EpicPandaForce
Google is, pretty clearly, abandoning eclipse in favor of Studio. It is true, the didn't even put the icons in the latest version – G. Blake Meike

The latest version of ADT has an issue. It doesn't work directly. Either use Android Studio or download Eclipse 4.4, and install ADT Plugin manually.

I'm not sure how it's setup for the Windows version of ADT, however I'd like to share how to do it for the Mac OS version.

If your only concern is the splash screen and icon, you just have to tweak some files from the bundle.

Note: This is only tested in ADT Version 23 (20140702) downloaded from developer.android.

  1. For the splashscreen

    Go to your ADT bundle directory and open the config.ini file located in eclipse/configuration/.

    Replace the following:

    osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform

    to this:

    osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package

    then save the file.

  2. And for the icon

    Just edit the info.plist inside eclipse.app/Contents/ and change:

    <key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string>Eclipse.icns</string>

    to:

    <key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string>adt.icns</string>

    lastly, go to eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS and open the file eclipse.ini and modify:

    -Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns to -Xdock:icon=../Resources/adt.icns

Hope this helps any Mac OS users of ADT out there.

If you have any issue with it then you can download Eclipse from the official eclipse site and sdk from developer.android.
