The google abandoned the Eclipse as a development tool? [closed]

Question

Recently developed a project on eclipse and was published. Yesterday I tried to create another project and it was not possible. I went up to the developers website to download the latest version, and found not download the ADT. I found just downloaded the Android Studio. Does anyone have any info on this? Obs .: Question made with Google Translator help. Excuse me anything.

Answer 1

Yes, though Google may be extending support for Eclipse for a while longer, considering that: Right after Android Studio 1.0 is released, Developer tools page has the following wording:

Caution: The ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development. If you're currently using it, you should migrate to Android Studio as soon as possible. For more details about Android Studio, see the Android Studio guide.

And now the wording has been changed to:

Note: If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates. For help moving projects, see Migrating to Android Studio.

Where they removed the statement "The ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development".

Regardless, developing Android using Eclipse is something that will become impossible some time down the road, so it's better to download Android Studio now and start migrating your Eclipse projects with the help of migration guide.
