The Facebook Android SDK v4.0 uses Gradle as it's build and dependency management system. http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/gradle-integration-eclipse-44 is available for Eclipse. Also http://eclipse.org/m2e/ can be used for integrating with the Facebook's maven artifact: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|com.facebook.android|facebook-android-sdk|4.0.0|

The android:textAllCaps issue occurs if you're targeting a version smaller than API 15. This doesn't cause a build issue in Gradle, and the lint warning is suppressed as it's ignored in API versions < 15.
