Are there any problems using Eclipse 3.6 with the Android SDK?

Question

What's the current status of using the latest version of the Android ADT with the latest version of Eclipse 3.6?

Previously I've read that there were bugs/problems, and warned to continue using Eclipse 3.5 Galileo for the time being. Is this still the case, or have the issues been resolved?

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm actually asking the question generically, regardless of OS/version.

Answer 1

Update December 2010: Eclipse3.6 is now supported (as Poldie mentions):

• The Vogella's tutorial is now based on Eclipse3.6 and Android2.3 (Gingerbread)
• The installing section of ADT in Eclipse simply mentions: "For Eclipse 3.5 or newer, the "Eclipse Classic" version is recommended."
• This SO question lists what you need as dependencies.

(September 2010)

The ADT page still mentions:

There are known issues with the ADT plugin running with Eclipse 3.6. Please stay on 3.5 until further notice.

Even the latest ADT 0.9.9 is still not yet compatible with Eclipse 3.6 Helios.
And you will also experience:

• some XML-related bugs.
• slow code completion

Yet it must be going to be compatible soon, if you believe the last "Eclipse Day at Googleplex" where ADT was largely mentioned:

Chris DiBona, open-source and public sector programs manager for Google, put it directly: “Eclipse is the single best way to program Android.
