setting up the Android SDK on 10.04?

  my next project -- downloading and setting up the SDK for android
2.2 on my lynx system.  while there's abundant documentation out
there, some looks a bit out of date so i'm wondering if anyone's
already gone thru it.

  currently, i'm poking thru these pages:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html#troubleshooting

and it seems fairly clear that at least some of that info is out of
date.  it specifically says it's for hardy heron, so one suspects
there will be a few tweaks.

  there's also a reference to eclipse not being current enough but the
current ubuntu repos have eclipse 3.5 so that appears to be
acceptable.  and given the requirement for java 5 or 6, i'd like to
think that the openjdk packages would be sufficient.

  in any event, the process *looks* fairly obvious but if anyone else
has done this and tripped over any gotchas, or if there's a
ubuntu-specific page for lynx that covers this, i'd be interested.  no
matter what, i suspect that will be this weekend's project.
