Here you go. The official Android Developers site has got information on that: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Consider using Android Studio instead as well.

Try this, it is about Development with Android and Eclipse

http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Android/article.html

It is updated to January 2014, and it's very good for beginners.

ADT bundle is Juno or Keplar as far as i know so they should be compatible
post the
-vm argument of your eclipse.ini
which can be found in your eclipse installation folder.

a suggestion switch to Android Studio trust me you wont regret.

A sample one from Eclipse wiki
it will differ from yours

look for things in bold

-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm **this should be followed by the exact path to javaw or java executable binaries**
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m **this should in no case exceed half the amount of RAM in your pc here value is 512 in MBs**

compare these two with yours and it should work
