Procedure for installing ADT in eclipse IDE: When you run the eclipse ide for the first time,you will be asked to provide a directory path to a workspace,you can set the ' Remember it' checkbox or uncheck it to allow it to set up a workspace when you run it,this is especially useful if you have multiple workspace for different projects. A workspace is basically a folder where all your projects are created including settings or preferences set in the IDE.

Once extracted,run the ' eclipse.exe' file,do make sure that all pre-reqisites like JRE, VC++2010 runtime are installed. Once this package has been downloaded,extract its content and copy it in the ' Program Files (x86)' which is the folder where 32 bit applications are installed,in case of 64bit you can use the folder ' Program Files'.

I have had the opportunity to work with ADT(ABAP Developer Tools) in the past,but the tooling back than was not as stable as it is today. The tooling was good but had lots of limitations for a true modern development experience missing a LA Visual Studio or Netbeans Development Experience. All of us ABAP developers have been working on the ABAP workbench(Tcode = SE80) for organizing and creating our development objects for quite a while now.
