User-installed Eclipse plugins are kept in a version-dependent directory
( $HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_<version>_<id>/plugins ) and hence
not carried over on upgrade.  Furthermore, 12.10 does not include the
main Eclipse site as a plugin source by default (earlier Ubuntu versions
did), so trying to (re)install plugins that depend on optional parts of
Eclipse (e.g. Android ADT depends on Eclipse WST) will fail with an
error message.

To fix this, go to Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available
Software Sites and add http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno (juno
is the 3.8/4.2 release, as in 12.10 and 13.04).

After doing this, Android ADT works for me (Ubuntu 12.10 amd64, Android
SDK 20).  Does this work for you, or is this bug something else?

Title:
  Quantal's eclipse doesn't work with Android Developer Tools plug-in

Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have been using the ADT plugins with eclipse from universe in 12.04
  and earlier releases. After upgrading to 12.10, ADT no longer works. I
  tried deleting my ~/.eclipse directory and reinstalling ADT; I also
  tried installing ADT as root, as suggested in one Ask Ubuntu answer.
  No matter what I do, the Android-related buttons (SDK manager, for
  example) don't seem to show up in eclipse.

  The ADT plug-in works fine with eclipse downloaded from eclipse.org --
  but for the packaged version of eclipse, it seems this is a regression
  which should be fixed.

  Running Quantal amd64 on a Dell Inspiron 1545. ADT installed as
  described here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing
  /installing-adt.html
