android, java, operating-system, xml
Solution
Eclipse has builds available and packages for all major OS, so choose your pick from here:

Check the drop down list in the top right corner.
This is my first and only option(Eclipse) when developing Android. And it is free.
P.S. Then I would recommend with all my heart : Linux OS any version. It is fast and hasn't the problems of Win OS. Also is faster and it's performance is better.

Best Desktop Distribution
There are so many excellent contenders for desktop Linux this year that it's become a more difficult choice than ever – and that's really saying something.
Canonical's Ubuntu has made great strides in advancing Linux's visibility in the public eye, of course, while Linux Mint and Fedora are both also very strong choices. Regarding Ubuntu, however, a number of issues have come up over the past year or so, including the inclusion of online shopping results in searches – an addition Richard Stallman and the EFF have called “spyware.”

At the same time, the upheaval caused by the introduction of mobile-inspired desktops such as Unity and GNOME 3 continues unabated, spurring the launch of more classically minded new desktops such as MATE and Cinnamon along with brand-new distros.
For best desktop Linux distro, I have to go with Fuduntu, one of this new breed of up-and-comers. Originally based on Fedora but later forked, Fuduntu offers a classic GNOME 2 interface – developed for the desktop, not for mobile devices -- and generally seems to get everything right.
Besides delivering the classic desktop so many Linux users have made clear that they prefer, Fuduntu enjoys all the advantages of being a rolling release distribution, and its repository includes key packages such as Netflix and Steam. I've been using it for months now and
Problem
Eclipse was developed using Java 6, so using the latest stable release of Java 6... Under which OS eg. Windows 7, Funduntu, Ubuntu or MacOSX is Eclipse most robust? Reason for question: I, like many other people, consider Eclipse to be the best IDE to develop android applications. However, that doesn't mean that its very good. I think that the reason that it isn't very good is because it has been developed to be compatible with as many system setups as possible. Its an impossible task. In fact, finding a single setup that works flawlessly is proving very difficult, but I WILL find at least one. Edit: It appears that the different OS's have never been compared before, so I will test over the next few weeks and report my findings back here.
