How to get Android 2 project types available in Eclipse?

I just upgraded to the Android 2 SDK. (I was at v1.5) I believe I followed all the instructions correctly, I installed the new SDK and then went into Eclipse and ran a software update from dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse. But when I then went to create a new project (after restarting Eclipse) all I had to choose from were 1.5 Android projects.

To be honest, the steps for upgrading the SDK could be a little easier so it's entirely possible I missed something. I'm glad Google has an auto-update feature starting with Android 1.6 but unfortunately I'm out of luck since I'm on 1.5.

Go Window->Preferences->Android, and make sure that SDK location is pointing to your new SDK location.

Hey, thanks for everyone's help. To be clear (which I wasn't earlier), you're correct-- it's the build targets I was referring to when I said that I only saw Android 1.5 projects.I did install the ADT plugin and will take all your tips and suggestions from here. I'll let you guys know how it works.

+1 A:

Delete the previous SDK completely and start again from scratch to make sure you aren't still using the old one. As you said, from v1.6 the SDK includes updating capabilities which make the process much easier, but the upgrade from v1.5 is prone to error.

The v2 SDK includes previous versions of the SDK for compatibility checking so you won't lose anything.
