MobileFirst Studio 8.0 installation

I have install MobileFirst 8.0.0 studio plugin from eclipse marketplace. But I can not find option to create new MobileFirst project like which I used to find in version 7.1.0.
So there is no support in eclipse for 8.0 version? Only CLI is available for version 8.0? or is there any other way? Can some one help me in this.
In MobileFirst Foundation 8.0 you create either native apps (using Xcode, Android Studio, Visual Studio) and add the SDK to the project, or standard Cordova apps (using the Cordova CLI) and add the MobileFirst Cordova plug-in.
MobileFirst Studio 8.0 for Eclipse is meant to work in conjunction with the THyM plug-in for Eclipse as a way to create an IDE to develop your Cordova application.
Learn more about to get started with development in Eclipse, in this tutorial: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/application-development/using-mobilefirst-cli-in-eclipse/
You can still use MFP CLI to deploy the app/artifacts on to MFP server.

Issues installing MobileFirst Studio v7.1

Trying to install MobileFirst Studio v7.1.0 into clean Eclipse install -- either Mars (v5.1) or Luna (v4.4.2). Receiving error when trying to confirm the features indicating missing requirements. Any thoughts or reasons for this?
This has been identified as a defect introduced in a recent iFix and is in the process of being fixed. I will update this answer once a fixed version will be available via Eclipse Marketplace.
As a workaround you can install an older release and then select to update it using the "faulty" release through Eclipse Marketplace. The update will work as the problem manifests itself only in new installations.
For reference, this is APAR - PI54604 CANNOT INSTALL MOBILEFIRST PLATFORM STUDIO 7.1 ON ECLIPSE.

configuring worklight with eclipse

I'm configuring my eclipse with the worklight with this steps while doing that i'm getting the above error as shown in the image.
1) Worklight is pretty specific to which editions and versions of eclipse are known to work. Running with other editions or versions can lead to unpredictable results. For the current version of IBM Worklight Studio (v6.2), which is on Eclipse Marketplace, double check to ensure you have:
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
Juno SR2 (4.2.2), Kepler SR1 (4.3.1), Kepler SR2 (4.3.2), or Luna R (4.4).
as described in the Developer Edition overview. Also check the other system requirements listed there.
2) You cannot upgrade to Worklight Studio V6.2 from an earlier version of Worklight Developer Edition.
3) Google "MD5 Hash Eclipse". There are lots of suggestions (make sure you're running eclipse as administrator, check your firewall, check your java version, etc.)
4) Could be a corrupted download by eclipse. Try downloading the IBM Worklight Studio 6.2 zip file and installing it as a local archive within Eclipse.
I believe these are network problems. You should try later or in a different network connection.
By the way, I highly recommend to use an Eclipse Java EE version.

Can Worklight Studio 6.0 and Worklight Studio 6.1 be installed on the same machine

I have a laptop running Windows 7 Pro. Is it safe to install both WL studio 6.0 and 6.1 on the same laptop? If it is safe to have both versions installed can the Android SDKs be shared between the installs or should each version of WL studio have its own install of the Android SDKs.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
You can easily install multiple versions of WL studio on 1 machine, just use a fresh install of Eclipse for each version. Creating separate workspaces inside of eclipse will have the same version of WL across all workspaces so you will need multiple Eclipse instances to accomplish this. In regards to your Android SDK question you can point each eclipse instance to the same Android SDK, but you will need to install the android tools on each version in order to work properly.
Please make sure you are running the latest 6.0.0.x ifix when attempting to run at the same time as some issues were resolved in this version. If you are an IBM WL customer please request the latest fix pack containing this fix.
Also, ensure you install the right version of Eclipse for each Worklight Studio version. Worklight 6.0 only runs on eclipse 4.2.2 (Juno SR2), while Worklight 6.1 runs on either eclipse 4.2.2 or eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler SR1). See System Requirements for detailed requirements for all Worklight versions.
