So, I'm just trying to get started learning Android development.  I wanted 
to start with something simple, so I'm trying out the "My First 
App" tutorial app that comes with the Eclipse plugin.  I seem to be running 
into a couple of hurdles. I posted on Stack Overflow, but only got a couple 
minimal responses, so I'm coming here to see if anyone can provide more 
info.

Basically, my setup is Ubuntu 12.10 (amd64) box with Eclipse 3.8.  I have 
two connected devices (Galaxy Nexus & Nexus 7) which are both seen by adb 
(after some udev massaging).  I also have a 4.1 AVD setup, I know this 
works since I've started it up and let it run a few times.

So, my questions are as follows:

1 - The "My First App" doesn't seem to have come with a build.xml file.  I 
don't know if this is affecting the Run button configuration or not, but I 
can't even get the manual build/push to device working as outlined in the 
instructions (eg ant debug; adb install).  Can someone tell me how to 
create this file?

2 - How do I configure the Run button in Eclipse to run the app either on 
one of my devices or on a configured AVD?  I tried looking through the Run 
configuration settings, but all of the tutorials I've seen out there are 
for older versions of Eclipse that don't seem to have the same menu layout. 
 In the couple replies I got on Stack Overflow, they mention "Run" -> "Run 
Configurations", but I don't seem to have that option in my version (see 
image).

I tried flipping through the "External Tools Configurations..." which is a 
setup dialog, but that doesn't seem to be right either.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
