JAVA in FRC and FTC

Folks,

I've been mentoring a team that uses Labview for FRC and a different team that uses Android Studio JAVA for FTC.

We've been asked to move to FRC JAVA for next year because our senior programmer (who preferred Labview) graduates and the school system is beginning to teach JAVA.

I installed Eclipse IDE and looked at some code examples from various teams.

Things were fine until I tried to compile and send code to the RoboRIO.....then things got sour.

First Eclipse told me it could not find "javac"...no paths set up....checked Internet and think I fixed paths.....

After the fix....Android Studio would not open....the JAVA_HOME path I set up was causing problems.

My question is....are the two IDE's compatible? If so...what gyrations do I need to go through to get them to play well together.

Doc
