I have installed
Version: 3.5.2
Build id: M20100211-1343
It has been working fine but doing some droid development and needed to update the ADT but need 3.6.x+. Following all the instruction I can find it should be easy to update but has been a nightmare to figure out why I can',
followed these instructions and no dice:
<newbie will not post link>://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-129.htm
The update button for the eclipse platform is grayed out. ADT 18.x is ok to update except for the dependency of 3.6.x+ lol
Tried both indigo and Helios. Added both to window->preferences->install/update ->available SW
added both
<newbie will not post link>//download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/
<newbie will not post link>://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
no help. Running
2.6.32-33-generic #72-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 21:07:13 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
java version "1.7.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.1-b02, mixed mode)
Any thoughts?

Instead of spend tree days of deep analysis what happen, I just backup workspace to somewhere else, delete workspace and/or Eclipse binaries, then File / Import projects from backup folder to this vanilla fresh workspace/Eclipse.
I'm starting to think this is the only option as following the directions it does not even give me the option to update from 3.5.2 to 3.6 via update option when I click on the eclipse platform.
