Eclipse on Mac

I had no problems running eclipse on my windows 7 laptop. I went and bought a brand new mac and installed eclipse. When I try to open the program, I get a error that says "Eclipse quit unexpectedly." Anyone know whats going on here?

That's your Mac trying to make you feel at home, at least it's not the blue screen of death! Lol. Not sure actually, runs fine on my iMacs, not sure that's ever happened to me. I'd just be sure all the Mac core software is up to date (right click on Apple icon - top left of toolbar then Software Update), restart it and reinstall Eclipse. Which version of Eclipse are you trying to install? I use Helios but I think several people here use later versions without problem.

I assume it would be the newest version. Maybe i will try to install an older version?

Here's a video I did on how to install the Eclipse ADT Bundle on Mac OS X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZnNME84Eec It'll walk you through everything you need! Let me know if you run into any problems. Mark
