Bug Description

I have been using the ADT plugins with eclipse from universe in 12.04 and earlier releases. After upgrading to 12.10, ADT no longer works. I tried deleting my ~/.eclipse directory and reinstalling ADT; I also tried installing ADT as root, as suggested in one Ask Ubuntu answer. No matter what I do, the Android-related buttons (SDK manager, for example) don't seem to show up in eclipse.

The ADT plug-in works fine with eclipse downloaded from eclipse.org -- but for the packaged version of eclipse, it seems this is a regression which should be fixed.

Running Quantal amd64 on a Dell Inspiron 1545. ADT installed as described here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html

User-installed Eclipse plugins are kept in a version-dependent directory ( $HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_<version>_<id>/plugins ) and hence not carried over on upgrade. Furthermore, 12.10 does not include the main Eclipse site as a plugin source by default (earlier Ubuntu versions did), so trying to (re)install plugins that depend on optional parts of Eclipse (e.g. Android ADT depends on Eclipse WST) will fail with an error message.

To fix this, go to Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites and add http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno (juno is the 3.8/4.2 release, as in 12.10 and 13.04).

After doing this, Android ADT works for me (Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, Android SDK 20). Does this work for you, or is this bug something else?

@Rebecca Palmer, thanks for trying... but I had already added the download source, and "successfully" installed the ADT. Only problem is that none of the ADT toolbar buttons show up... for example the button to launch an emulator.

Are these actions available from the Window menu? ("Android SDK Manager", "AVD Manager", "Run Android Lint")
Does the Run button work? (On my system, this will open a new emulator if necessary.)

None of those actions are in the Window menu. If I push the Run button, I am given a choice of running as a "Java application" or "Java applet", but not Android application.
