Android source code in Eclipse without GIT

Unfortunately, the Android SDK does not come with source code, and you will find that the docs are not good enough sometimes.
There are a lot of tutorials on how to install source code using git. In face git is not needed, source code can be downloaded directly from the online source tree at http://android.git.kernel.org/.

This URL gives a list of all available heads (versions of Android). Then just select a version (donut; eclair ; froyo etc..) tree and click on snapshot to get a nice source code tar.gz without any need for git.

For example, Froyo's tree is here, follow this link to get a snapshot.

Then install it as if it was checked out with git, move all Java sources into a "sources" subdirectory of the Android SDK.

Good luck.
