Sun/Oracle JDK 1.5.0

This is a little tricky: Sun/Oracle JDK is officially EOL (End-Of-Life) and JPackage doesn't provide "compat" package for 1.5.0 update 22.

Download the JDK from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp by choosing the "JDK 5.0 Update N" link and from there the "RPM in self-extracting file" for Linux. You will have to complete a registration form. Make sure to use a valid email address since you will receive your download link there. Then run the executable and install the extracted RPM (if you run the executable as root it will automatically attempt to install it).

Version
Make sure to choose the 32 bit and RPM version (not the self-extracting archive).

Then enable my "backports" repository by running (as root):

wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/lvillani/backports/fedora-backports.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-backports.repo

and then install the updated JPackage "compat" package:

yum install java-1.5.0-sun-compat

Then use update-alternatives to make java, javac and javadoc point to the Sun/Oracle JDK versions.

Install the "repo" tool

The repo tool is used to pull from the plethora of git repositories making the android project.

Make sure you have "$HOME/.local/bin" in your PATH (and create that directory if not there already).

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/.local/bin/repo
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/repo


Initialize the development environment

Create a directory to hold your files:

mkdir android
cd android

Download updated repo's "manifest" files: (NOTE: They will be pointing to the post-release semi-stable experimental branch)

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

Now sync (download) all repositories with:

repo sync


Switching between different release branches (or "code-lines")

In your "android" directory there's an hidden directory called ".repo". This directory holds configuration for the "repo" tools and check-outs of various android projects as bare git repositories.

You will simply need to copy .repo/manifests/default.xml somewhere, edit it, update the .repo/manifest.xml symlink to point to the new file and then re-run "repo sync".
