Ah, sorry. I hadn't understood that you'd done an Ubuntu upgrade. I
wasn't paying attention. You upgraded from 10.4?
Maybe it's as simple as having to re-specify the path to your Android
SDK after re-installing the plug-in (via Help -> Install New Software).

Yeah, that part I understood. So, did you try reinstalling the plug-in
or is it still there (and essentially non-functional)?
If it's still there, I would suggest uninstalling it by Help -> About
Eclipse -> Installation Details, look for the plug-in, select it, then
click Uninstall.
Then go back to Help -> Install New Software and start over.
Your Android SDK should be fine--no need to download it again, I think.
The path to enter into Work with: for the Android plug-in is
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
(Of course, this is just my stab in the dark to help you; this hasn't
happened to me and I'm now less likely to upgrade to Lucid 10.10 for
having seen this go south on you.)

My approach to Eclipse on Linux is wholly user-oriented: local Eclipse,
local copy of Sun JDK, local copy of Tomcat, local Android SDK, etc. I
have never had trouble with the root vs. not root nightmare that I read
about in the forums.
Even though I work on a private host these years, I'm a very old guy who
worked many years on mainframes and minis. It would never occur to me to
share anything so intimately connected with my ability to get something
done with other users or think of paths like /opt, /var or even
/usr/local as belonging to me.
Glad you're back up; maybe the upgrade isn't so invasive after all. I
hope I get the courage to do it, but I had much grief just moving from
openSuSE 10.1 to 10.2 to 10.3 and, since then, haven't considered Linux
upgrades as anything to do before I'm ready to reconstruct my hardware
from scratch. Earlier this year, I did try an upgrade from Karmic to
Lucid in a VM just for grins. It was a disaster; little worked after
doing that--exactly as I suspected.

First, why would you wish to get installed as "root"? On Windows, I
install Eclipse to C:\Users\russ\eclipse\helios, indigo, ... It works
perfectly there, I don't have to (nor want to) run as administrator, and
this never gives me any trouble whatsoever. Similarly, on Linux I put it
at /home/russ/eclipse/helios, etc.
Second, if you're having trouble with ADT features, you should try an
Android forum since ADT isn't an Eclipse thing. If it's missing from
Eclipse preferences, it's because something went wrong during ADT
installation.
