android missing in eclipse

i just updated eclipse using Help > Check for Updates, but after i restarted eclipse, everything Android related in it just went missing, i can't create an Android project, can't find my AVD manager, etc. i tried reinstalling the ADT plugin using Help > install new software, but it says that the ADT was already installed.

In Windows 7 there seems to be some sort of permission issue (and opening Eclipse with Admin privileges doesn't help). Open the SDK MAnager (Windows Start->All Programs->Android SDK Tools->SDK Manager) with Admin permissions, and install any dependencies that aren't installed. Then restart Eclipse

For me it was that registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.6 was missing. In order to get the Oracle 1.6 installer to run, I'd purged a few too many "1.6" registry keys. Symptom: running "java" from a command window complained about a missing JRE DLL.

I think Eclipse somehow reverted to JDK 1.4 which I had in PATH. I manually restored the registry key, logged out and into Windows, and ADK options reappeared in Eclipse.

I had the same Issue on Juno today. Searched for hours for a solution to what I assumed would be a common bug none found.

Like you I reinstalled Eclipse

I would just like to provide an additional detail which could help.

I extracted the new downloaded Eclipse version on top of the old. I replaced (yes to all) files with the same name. Doing it like this I preserved all my plugins and environment and it was no problem getting working again no damage.
