I now installed Android Studio instead of Eclipse because of your message in this thread...
Fact is, that I don't know anything about Java, not a tiny bit. So I depend on search results and in new things I tend to take the "standard" way, also in the hope that searching for problems later will be easier when I use what most use...
My programming skills come from COBOL on IBM and NCR hosts, thousands of years back... html, php, CSS and simple, more or less procedural JavaScript added, but all the object oriented stuff is still a black hole for me. So my decision to install Oracle's Java is not based on any knowledge... I just hope, it serves (and I'll understand it) :-)

Thanks for the context, Daniel, and wish you the best on this learning adventure. :-) FWIW, I got Android Studio running after installing the OpenJDK '-devel' package, but the process wasn't 'seamless' and there were several discouraging warnings / error messages along the way. I have to agree with your assessment to run with Oracle's JDK in this case. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
