ADT Plugin disappeared in Eclipse

..I was trying to install the Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library, from the Extra in Android SDK Manager.

Since it did not appear, I updateded the Android SDK Tools and the Android SDK Platform-Tools to the last release (as shown here: How Google Cloud Messaging Service in Android Works?).

Once updated both, I still could not find any Extras--> Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library (just "Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager"). So I updated Eclipse (version 3.6) too (Help->Check for Updates), but nothing happened except for the fact that the ADT plugin was not there anymore: no Android menu under Preferences, no possibilty to create Android projects and so on.

I uninstelled the plugin, removed the files from the plugin directory, installed another version of Eclipse (3.8) with the addition of the plugin but nothing changed.

Any ideas?

I'm working on a Mac OS X Leopard.

The problem was that the new ADT Plugin (v20) requires Java 1.6.

So, first of all, I had to change the Java Preferences, bringing up the 1.6 Java version.

Then, since my Eclipse was set for Java 1.5 32 bit, I had to download the 64 bit Eclipse release (because my 1.6 Java version was 64 bit).

And everything worked again.

Hope this can help.
