Android ADT plugin - Eclipse - No Preferences Pane

[razorbuzz]

Short version: Upgraded to Maverick, Android ADT preferences no longer in Eclipse and Android apps fail to run due to missing resources.

Long version:
On 10.04
Eclipse and the Android ADT plugin were working perfectly. I could run apps in the virtual devices, I could moved them to my Droid2 and they'd run. All libraries were available, and the Preferences pane for Android was in place so I could direct Eclipse to the /tools directory in the SDK.


I upgraded to Maverick. Eclipse runs, Java apps run. Android apps? Nada.
Eclipse can't find any of the tools. ADB isn't available, so errors galore.

Attempted resolution: Removed Android plugins, reinstalled. Nothing. Removed Android plugins, completely removed Eclipse, and removed Android SDK. Redownloaded the SDK, installed Eclipse, installed the Android plugins through Eclips (help>Install New Software). Install went fine. Restarted Eclipse - still nothing for Android in the Preferences pane, nor anywhere else.

Anybody have a solution?

No solution, but might be worth a look at the Eclipse log files.

The main one is usually created in your workspace as .metadata/.log. You may also find individual plugin logs in .metadata/.plugins/<name-of-plugin>/.log.

Hi,
Same problem, logs didn't help. Maybe the java jdk should be the problem.

Thanks for the replies - Guitou is right, nothing in the logs shows problems with it. The only log entries are in regards to missing Help documents.

!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.help.base 4 4 2010-10-13 12:27:16.633

Pretty sure those are unrelated to Android since they're in regards to the Eclipse base?
