Update Eclipse with Android development tools v. 23

Question

I updated Eclipse with the new SDK tools (rev. 23), but now when Eclipse starts I receive the error:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 23.0.0 or above. Current version is 22.6.3.v201404151837-1123206. Please update ADT to the latest version.

No updates were found with "Check for updates". If I try "Install new software", I can see version 23, but I can't upgrade due to the following error:

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 23.0.0.1245622 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.feature.group 23.0.0.1245622)

After download of the last ADT from the web site, it seems there's another problem.

With SDK Tools rev. 23 proguard is not installed, the folder SDK dir/tools/proguard is missing, and other tools are missing. This version contains several bugs.

Solution 1

Google response:

This is a packaging bug. The entire proguard file is missing. We'll have an update asap, but until then just copy it over from a previous version of the tools:

• http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-linux.tgz
• http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-windows.zip
• http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-macosx.zip

and copy over the following files:

• tools/hprof-conv
• tools/support/annotations.jar
• tools/proguard

So at the end if you started from a new ADT copy by hand the files :)

Edit: with the latest ADT release, the bundle should now work with auto-update, so install these new versions:

• linux 64 bit vm: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702.zip
• linux 32 bit vm: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140702.zip
• mac: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702.zip
• win32: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702.zip
• win64: http://dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702.zip

Don't try to upgrade from previous version because it doesn’t work at all. If you have got problems with zipalign, it's now under build-tools and no more under tools/ so you can do a symbolic link or just copy it into the expected folder.

Solution 2

Google has released ADT v23.0.2. This solved many problems of previous ADT version 23.

Step-by-step:

• Menu Help → Install New Software...
• For "Work with", select the Android source https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
• Tick ADT v23.0 for installation, then click "Next"
• Eclipse will show "Install Remediation Page" since there is conflict with previous version. (If it does not, see below.) Select "Update my installation to be compatible with items being installed" to uninstall the old version and install the new one. After that, proceed with the usual steps.

Note: When I installed the new version of ADT, I didn't include the new version of "Android Native Development Tools" package. Instead, I installed the rest of packages first, and then installed "Android Native Development Tools". For a reason, if I try to install all the new packages including "Android Native Development Tools", the installation fails.

If there is no "Remediation page", the only way to remove the ADT plugin from Eclipse is to go to menu Help → About Eclipse → Installation Details and uninstall from there. But there is a risk of uninstalling Eclipse itself.

Solution 3

None of the other answers worked for me using the ADT bundle published on developer.android.com.

I ended up downloading the latest version of Eclipse (not the ADT bundle) and then installing the ADT plugin via menu Help → Install new software → entering https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse (mentioned by @RED_).

I also had to update my workspace to point to my previous workspace, and most things seemed to be restored.

On a side note: This seems like a good time to migrate to Android Studio...

Solution 4

NOTE: Use this approach with caution because this might break your Eclipse installation (see comments).

This might help you if you installed the ADT plugin manually. But if you are using the version of Eclipse from the Eclipse ADT Bundle the below steps could break your Eclipse installation, and you may not be able to use Eclipse again!

Go to

Menu Help → About Eclipse SDK → Installation Details.

Now you will see all 22.0 versions and then click Uninstall button at bottom.

After uninstallation goto:

Menu Help → Install New Software → enter http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

Then install all the things, and now it is ready.

Solution 5

I was updating my build server today and came across the same issue. It has been reported here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=72419

The fix is in progress and the work around according to the project manager is:

Please wait for an updated version within a day or two. Until then, your workaround is to do download one of

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-linux.tgz

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-windows.zip

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.6.2-macosx.zip

and copy over the following files:

    tools/hprof-conv
    tools/support/annotations.jar
    tools/proguard

[edit] zipalign was missing for me too, check to see if you need to copy this as well

Comments

[greywolf82]

@kaushik your comment is out of scope. I said that I've already tried to update Eclipse without luck.

[joshas]

I tried to remove plugins manually, but unable to remove "Android Developer Tools" - it wants to delete eclipse.exe file.

[greywolf82]

@joshas I can confirm. The only way seems to reinstall everything :(

[joshas]

I currently downloaded new ADT bundle (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140624.zip). While it has some new issues, at least ADT works.

[greywolf82]

@joshas have you got proguard under sdk/tools/?

[joshas]

@greywolf82 No, proguard is not in sdk/tools on new bundle. The new ADT Bundle 20140624 seems to be buggy as well.

[greywolf82]

@joshas Dohhhh! It's really impossible.....

[NickT]

Re proguard, it's been raised as an issue - code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=72419

[Emanuel Moecklin]

The missing Proguard isn't really an issue. Just download it from the Proguard site and extract the content into tools/proguard.

[greywolf82]

@EmanuelMoecklin I downloaded Proguard and I renamed proguard.android.txt but I receive errors, can you share your config file?

[r.bhardwaj]

Is there a way I can revert my current updates ?

[RED_]

I think it needs to be renamed proguard.project.txt I could be wrong. I found a proguard file in \sdk\tools\lib. I was also told that's where annotations.jar was moved accidently but I can't find it. I just took that file from my work PC with v22 build tools (thank god).

[greywolf82]

@RED_ I renamed the file template found in Proguard configuration folder (I downloaded from proguard site) but it doesn't work, it gives to me some error due to some statement at the start of the file like -initjars

[alvaro.delaserna]

@r.bhardwaj see the answer I posted

[r.bhardwaj]

@alvaro.delaserna: I would love to try it but unfortunately my eclipse executable was deleted when I have tried uninstalling "already installed" files as per answer posted by Biljana below.

[Aman Alam]

I have got things working on my Ubuntu installation. I've explained here how : stackoverflow.com/a/24450781/243709

[RED_]

@r.bhardwaj if you go to Help>About Eclipse>Installation details you can then check out Installation History and revert any changes. It will only work if they were updates. If you uninstalled ADT to install the previous one, it won't work. If it did it as an update, you should be able to revert back.

[Vishwa Iyer]

Is there a working solution? None of the answers below are working for me, and in fact it broke my eclipse.

[greywolf82]

@VishwaIyer No IMHO. See my answer, we have to wait the fix.

[Tom]

The SDK Manager now has v23.0.1 of the Android SDK Tools, but this doesn't fix anything for me. Not sure what's going on.

[Muhammad Babar]

just because of the Android team lack of focus on ADT rather than Studio.

[TacB0sS]

I wrote a short blog post about how to fix the issue in the most general sense because some can upgrade with problems and some just can't android-know-how-to.blogspot.co.il/2014/06/…

[Pratik Butani]

Google Bug tracker : code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=72419#c12

[syloc]

One update and they mess everything up. Just unbelievable. They also ruined admob with google play services update. Nightmare for android devs.

[user1568901]

Ugh, what a mess. The download link Google provided now doesn't even extract properly. "Error 0x80010135: Path too long" on pom.properties. Booo. :-(

[A.J.]

The only thing that worked was a fresh a fresh download of adt bundle. I replaced the older eclipse folder and merged and overwrote the sdk folder. Worked!

[Bilbo Baggins]

RED_'s comment helped. I uninstalled the older 22 version and then I was able to upgrade.

[Dastagir]

What i did is downloaded new ADT (developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and then used the same workspace which i used for previous one and then it all works for me.... no hassles no troubles all goes pretty well ...

[danny117]

@Dastagir hope that works. I botched my enviornment today.

[Pratik Butani]

Download new Version of eclipse.

[Roy Solberg]

I'm actually getting an error message with "conflicting dependency" instead of Eclipse saying it will uninstall the version 22.X.

[greywolf82]

Yep. Same thing. I'm installing Eclipse again with a new and fresh ADT bundle from Android web site.

[greywolf82]

Yep. I installed only Android L but it doesn't work. I'm installing Eclipse again downloading the last ADT bundle from Android web site.

[Roy Solberg]

When I tried to manually uninstall version 22.X eclipse seemed to disappear. Trying out with a new and fresh ADT bundle as well.

[paulgavrikov]

Don't wanna rollback to Eclipse Juno but seems like the only way :( Android L Emu is being stuck within Eclipse 4.4 and Android Studio

[greywolf82]

I installed Juno but now it seems the proguard folder is not under sdkdir/tools :(

[seanpj]

I did the same (standalone Android SDK Manager) and got exactly to the point 'greywolf82' is complaining about. Your answer is not the solution.

[greywolf82]

I installed the new version from web site but it seems that with SDK tools rev 23 under sdk dir/tools there is no more the proguard folder! Can you share it?

[joshas]

It is impossible to remove "Android Development Tools". An error occurred while uninstalling session context was:(profile=profile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Uninstal‌​l, operand=[R]org.eclipse.rcp.configuration_root.win32.win32.x8‌​6_64 1.0.0.M20130204-1200 --> null, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.ac‌​tions.CleanupzipActi‌​on). Backup of file D:\dev\android\eclipse\eclipse.exe failed. Can not remove : D:\dev\android\eclipse\eclipse.exe

[greywolf82]

@Daniel Diaz have you got proguard under tools/?

[Biljana]

Hmmm.. I just did it few minutes ago. Have you tried running Eclipse as Administrator?

[joshas]

Same error in Administrator mode. Might be that my version is just too old, I'm using Eclipse from 20131030 ADT Bundle.

[RED_]

I do not. Is this another effect you think?

[greywolf82]

Oh my god. Google what you have done!?!?!? Yes. The SDK rev 23 is buggy :(

[kefs]

I followed these steps, but I am unable to restart eclipse. I am getting the following error: The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library. The following error log was generated: pastebin.com/raw.php?i=BUsMX75L

[Daniel]

@greywolf82 Under android skd tools folder? At android SDK folder tools I have many files, and at tools -> lib I have proguard-project.txt

[Daniel]

When I installed the new version of ADT, I don't install the new version of "android native developed tools" package the first time. I've installed the other packages first, and next, I installed "android native developed tools". I don't know the reason, but if I try to install all the new packages with "android native developed tools" the installation fails

[greywolf82]

@DanielDíaz You have to have SDKDIR/tools/proguard folder. But I can say now that SDK tools rev 23 are buggy and proguard is not installed at all.

[NickT]

@greywolf82 - you are correct, proguard is completely missing.

[greywolf82]

@NickT I'm trying to install it by hand but I've got several errors

[paulgavrikov]

Make sure you grab the complete bundle from android developer site. That worked for me

[greywolf82]

Yes I downloaded the complete bundle not SDK only. Have you got proguard now?

[dennisdrew]

For some reason I didn't get any alternate solutions when trying this...just errors / conflicts.

[Tyler Pfaff]

Not happy with google right now, I don't like the burden of trying to solve these problems that shouldn't even exist.

[Tyler Pfaff]

Eclipse won't start for me after uninstalling these things. I get an error log file with the following... The bundle "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins_1.1.200.v20120301‌​-2145 [142]" could not be resolved.

[dharmendra]

@TylerPfaff me too bro , same error . finally i retrieve back my old ADT :(

[Bhavesh Jethani]

please uncheck show only the latest version..... after that i get version 23.0 and finally i got above screen.

[alvaro.delaserna]

Why do we need to uninstall the previous version manually? I tried that 15 min ago and I could not restart Eclipse because some libraries could not be found. These issues should be handled internally by Eclipse, this is a massive waste of time

[Pang]

Related question for missing annotations.jar: stackoverflow.com/q/24438748/1402846

[alvaro.delaserna]

@Biljana how did you manage to uninstall that list of items? My Eclipse won't let me uninstall single items, it only gives the option to uninstall the whole ADT

[Alécio Carvalho]

THIS BREAKS THE ADT COMPLETELY..it won't start anymore. Thanks.

[Aman Alam]

These deletes the whole Eclipse executable. Doesn't work

[r.bhardwaj]

This deleted eclipse executable file.

[Aman Alam]

So they're going to force the developers like this, to move to Studio?

[Srikanth Roopa]

I did the same.. it won't work for ADT bundle provided by developer.android.com and uninstalling ADT is not the solution

[r.bhardwaj]

@SheikhAman: Can you tell how to recover the deleted eclipse executable file ?

[Aman Alam]

I don't think you can recover it. At extremes you can try using a tool like photorec but that would be an overkill. Why don't you reinstall Eclipse?

[greywolf82]

Yep. But rev 23 is BROKEN. proguard is missing, annotation.jar is missing and other tools. See the bug report linked above, Google replied to us telling that it should be fixed within a few days, now we can use as workaround the link posted in their reply to copy by hand the missing part.

[greywolf82]

Under tools/support for annotations.jar, under tools/ for the whole proguard folder and under tools/ for the file hprof-conv

[kingargyle]

From what I can tell, Google has moved to using Tycho to build the p2 repository instead of using the old pre-p2 way of generating the update site. In the past if you hit that url with site.xml it would retun you the xml file. A p2 repository is generated differently and isn't compatible with the old site.xml. Which is why you are seeing the current issues and why eclipse has to jump through some hoops to update. It is a pain, but it is better long term.

[greywolf82]

@kingargyle ok but it's not possible to create this kind of mess, breaking the development and without any clear advice......no it's not possible

[Robert Rowntree]

its not just 'proguard' . I installed ADT 23 and CLI ant build type 'debug' broken with 'missing zipalign'... Cannot run program "/usr/local/src/android-sdk-linux/tools/zipalign": error=2, No such file or directory

[greywolf82]

@RobertRowntree Yes, I know. Even sqlite3 command is missing. I rellay hope Google can fix this mess asap.

[Robert Rowntree]

i will completely remove ADT 23 and completely remove the new eclipse luna. i was fine on eclipse 4.4 RC4 and the upgrd to the release version seems to have broken everything. NDK prevents me from moving to A-Studio..

[TheLettuceMaster]

Confirmed: Eclipse will not start for me now. :|

[SnowInferno]

It's worth noting, as I haven't seen it commented yet, be sure you change the radio button to the Update option. Mine was initially left on Keep installation the same and it was only going to update the native development tools.

[Vlad]

For Mac this advice was usefull.

[Jacksonkr]

@AlécioCarvalho and everyone else who broke your executable: You're supposed to remove development tools, not developer tools. Next time read the instructions closer.

[Vivek Warde]

@DanielDíaz I didn't get your 2nd point nor 3rd point, Also I don't see the screen You displayed ????

[madhu]

Even I tried to uninstall Android Development Tool , but not able to start eclipse again . eclipse.exe file itself is gone after uninstalling Android Development tool for me.

[Kobe-Wan Kenobi]

Nope, I can uninstall everything except android developer tools, and with it I cannot install the new ones (and it still says that I have Hierarchy Viewer, Traceview installed...) regardless of that I have uninstalled them previously...

[Quentin S.]

Everyone should downvote this since it breaks the whole thing!

[Daniel]

@vwvwvwvwvwvwvwvwvw At available software, at "Work with" listbox you need to select android source (dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse)

[barkside]

@DanielDíaz I followed your answer, but on Install Remediation Page, no matter which radio button I select, the Next button is greyed out. Any ideas? I tried other suggestions in comments with no effect.

[barkside]

This broke my eclipse installation.

[Jim Vitek]

It also broke my ADT install. I just added a warning to read the comments before following the answer.

[GingerJim]

Hi, these workaround does not work for me. Still get the same error

[Aiden Fry]

This worked fine for me, only needed one file to be copied over from a previous build as shown by w1 below

[wi1]

The author kept editing the question, this was in response to the question: where can the missing files be found.

[Tom]

This does not fix the problem for me with Windows/Eclipse.

[alextc]

It broke the ADT completely. Then I realisd that I could not even revert back to the v22 coz it had been uninstalled already! At the end I had to download the plugin from Google and install as local archive in Eclipse. This eventually worked for me. developer.android.com/sdk/installing/…

[ymerdrengene]

This worked for me too! But for some reason when downloading ADT it took a loooooooong time (download speed was 20kb/s and there is nothing wrong with my internet connection) :S Anyone also experienced that?

[Sharmilee]

will it broke my Eclipse?

[Hugo Matilla]

Not working and my eclipse does not respond anymore.

[abbas.aniefa]

Thanks a lot. Worked fine.

[krisDrOid]

My Eclipse wont even start now

[Tom]

That's the problem - on Windows you can't update the ADT plug-in. It still says "cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency".

[Stagleton]

crap, well about to find out if this f-ed up my eclipse installation. I guess in all fairness it wasn't working before :-/

[Uday]

Check out Daniel Díaz answer,you need to completely uninstall the previous update and install the fresh one. Check out this link

[Vrashabh Irde]

This broke my eclipse too :/

[alvaro.delaserna]

@LukeDeighton what happened? I'm sorry this caused problems, I just posted what worked for me.

[Luke Deighton]

@alvaro.delasema This doesn't work for anyone using the ADT-Bundle from the Android developer site (I think). Eclipse fails to open once ADT is uninstalled

[Tom]

Don't remember which approach I took - is there some way to tell?

[joshas]

New Eclipse SDK bundle works. Looks like there are some icons missing from toolbar, but besides that I can finally compile my application.

[Tom]

But be warned, GPE (google plug-in for eclipse) doesn't support Luna yet. groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-plugin-eclipse/…

[Ashwin]

I guess they are making us migrate to Android Studio! But I hope all essential icons are available in toolbar! :)

[matthias_buehlmann]

yep, it deletes eclipse

[Zach H]

This solution only works with Eclipse Juno for me. I also had to download the stand-alone SDK tools in addition to the ADT.

[Chitrang]

This did work for me, But before doing this I had to uninstall Android SDK Tools-23, and paste complete tools folder.

[OKGimmeMoney]

I dont see the files that are supposed to be copied over in the download zip for Linux

[Reijo Korhonen]

I have updated to 23.0.2 SDK, but I still get error message "This Android SDK requires Android Developer Toolkit version 23.0.0 or above". But I still can't get upodate. Eclise says there is no update if I run Help -> Seach for updates. If I run Help -> Install new software, it dos not let me install it, but I get this conflict error message for all componet. Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency. Software being installed: Android Traceview 23.0.2.1259578 (com.android.ide.eclipse.traceview.feature.feature.group 23.0.2.1259578) ...

[Reijo Korhonen]

Yes, because exlipse claims, that sdk version 23 needs version 23 adt and eclipse shows that there is no updates available for eclipse adt, updates to ndk won't fix this problem, never. I had to install new version of Android Developing Tools. I used ADT bundle for linux 64 bit and unzipped it to new place than original one and installed all tools again as Andoide developer page guides us. In linux bundle SDK is still broken, so you must copy annotations.jar to right place as explained here. Whole story in explained in my answer. I coulkd save my old workspace and nothing was lost, huh.

[aaronmarino]

@Tom If you used option 1 you should have the standard purple eclipse icon. If you used option 2 the launch icon will be green with curly braces.

[Reijo Korhonen]

You cannot do this, because of a conflicting dependency as explained in original question, almost in linux. Removing old ADT plugin by hand is not recommended, as explained here. If you search for ADT plugin updated, eclipse says that there is none, so you can not update adt normal way. Google's ADT plugin update is broken! For me what worked is install ADT bundle in new place and reinstall all tools again. This method needs some work, but it worked for me. I explained it in my answer, how to do it carefully, saving your devoloping keys, settings and projects.

[Evilripper]

yes, latest version released of ADT 20140702 works like a charm! :)

[user1568901]

Does not work, even leaving out the specified package. What a mess. Reason #34210987 I've turned from an Eclipse lover to an Eclipse hater.

[user1568901]

@Evilripper How'd you get ADT20140702 to extract? I'm getting failures extracting pom.properties "path too long".

[Evilripper]

@BrianKnoblauch there is a stupid bug in windows (path too long) you must extract all to c:\a code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=72539#c9

[user1568901]

OK, cool. Ignore Google's instructions to extract to dev path, and just throw it on root without allowing subfolder. Worked! Thanks!

[Fraggle]

This 'answer' (workaround) works if you want to downgrade from Eclipse Kepler or later to Eclipse Juno which is what is included in the second set of zip files. Not sure if I can safely upgrade to Kepler or not now.

[Steve]

Dpwnload failed at the end while installing adt bundle 64 windows

[Richard Le Mesurier]

But would I trust Android Studio, if this is how they handle things?

[Vini]

ADT Download failed at the end for linux 64 bit. And the replacing tools folder also not at all work.

[A.J.]

DON'T DO THIS if you are using ADT bundle. ECLIPSE won't start after uninstalling ADT! This is only for people who added ADT to and existing eclipse installation.

[JT.]

I was able to recover my Luna installation by just using the new software install (selected everything) and doing a clean rebuild of my Android projects. I did not uninstall any of the previous Android stuff first.

[greaterKing]

this is so stupid ...did they check their release????? when in the world will their Studio move out of Beta??!!?!?

[Andrew Rokicki]

I have done second step only and all is well again. Help --> Install New Software --> dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse

[Bharat Dodeja]

I think this breaks eclipse in Mac OS.

[Bruno Bieri]

It seems thats probably the most official source. I hope it will work in the future as they promise.

[Alex Bitek]

zipalign is actually in the android-sdk-linux/build-tools/xx.x.x/ directory where xx.x.x is the Build Tools version e.g. 20.0.0

[Anarchofascist]

Delete all the ADT tools (basically every installed module with the 23.xxx version number) and reinstalled ADT. Life is good! Module updates suck. Delete, restart, all nice again!

[Fatima]

It broke my eclipse installation :(

[Radon8472]

Thank you for posting the location where ADT can be uninstalled, that was what I didn`t find :)

[Per Quested Aronsson]

By far the simplest solution! Please note that the "About Eclipse" menu item might be found under "Eclipse" rather than under "Help" in some cases.

[William Morrison]

Somewhat worked for me. Seems to be having problems with an app compatibility project (actionbar stuff?) maybe unrelated.

[jsanmarb]

This should work "if you installed the ADT plugin manually...". Otherwise, does not. You can check this through Eclipse icon: " If you installed the ADT plugin manually you should have the standard purple eclipse icon. If you are using the ADT Bundle the launch icon will be green with curly braces." This works for me. Source: answer of Luke Deighton and others below on this post.

[danny117]

I waited till October hoping this would go smoothly. It didn't.

[pt123]

thanks uninstalling ADT tools 22 then installing 23 worked for me on Linux

This broke my eclipse too on Mac OSX Mavericks. I think I will just re-install. The only conclusion i can draw from the 30+ answers is that there is no one good answer that works for everyone. Fastest seems to be just a re-install. Google terrible company what lousy support. Compared to Xcode Eclipse is just a mess quite frankly.

@Sharmilee: once you install new ADT, you will be able to work again.

New version is available or not now?

[greywolf82]

@ツPratikButaniツ Since is now out Android Studio 1.0 I think ADT is now no more supported, I suggest you to migrate to Android Studio.

[Pratik Butani]

@greywolf82 But Android Studio is still now in Beta Version? Only one project handles at a time. Then....

[greywolf82]

@ツPratikButaniツ No Android Studio is now out with a stable version after 18 months of development and if I well remember the ADT is missing now in the download page, the message from Google is: Please use Android Studio :)

This works perfectly...when you DON'T restart Eclipse after the existing plugins are uninstalled. Eclipse would ask to restart, DON'T restart it at that point but continue adding the new version from "Install new software". Once the new plugins are added, restart Eclipse and it's all set.

This broke my ADT v22. Now I'm trying to install a new ADT bundle v22 instance and then i'll upgrade it with the offline package ADT-23.

Anyway... stop using ADT! Android Studio is the way!

For me the problem was caused by trying to upgrade to 23 from 22 since Eclipse said I had to. But it only allowed me to install one of the 23 components. All the rest stayed at 22. Of course, nothing worked. So following this advice I uninstalled all the 22s and the 1 23 and reinstalled just the 23. At least I see the SDK versions load.

this solution did not work for me, the google response below was successful. (reinstall..)

[Stan]

The bug is still there. Google did not fix anything, perhaps, intentionally, because they want the people move to Android Studio. Uninstalling previous version (from About Eclipse dialog) and Installing new version of ADT (as usual - Install New Software) worked for me. It's important to answer "Not now" to Eclipse when it asks for restart after uninstall and start installation right away.

This broke my eclipse :(

The easier, logical and simplest solution !

After I reinstall ADT I get this error: [2015-09-19 21:54:06 - Android SDK] Error when loading the SDK: Error: Error parsing /Applications/android-sdk-macosx/system-images/android-22/an‌​droid-wear/armeabi-v‌​7a/devices.xml cvc-complex-type.2.4.d: Invalid content was found starting with element 'd:skin'.

After I reinstall ADT I got new errors but I updated the Android thingy using the Android iCon in Eclipse, and now it works!! WOW thank you so much. THIS ANSWER IS THE ONLY WORKING ANSWER IN THIS QUESTION!!! TRY THIS
