Eclipse won't start a new Android project anymore

A few weeks ago, I followed a tutorial to get Eclipse and the Android Development Kit up and running. I successfully built the test application and ran it on a virtual device.

Tonight I finally went back to do the next step in the tutorial, but when I went to start a new project there wasn't an option to start a new Android project. Even searching for it didn't produce anything. Window -> Preferences doesn't have an Android preferences dialog, either. The developer tools are still installed, though, according to Help -> Install New Software.

I'm using Eclipse Galileo 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. I just recently upgraded. I remember I had to install some additional packages to get Eclipse to run the Android stuff last time. I haven't uninstalled those, so I don't know what's causing the problem.

What's causing this problem, and what can I do to fix it?

Re-check following things..........

1.) ADT is installed.

2.) Android SDK path is provided or not.

I verified that it's installed, and used the instructions at http://www.talkandroid.com/android-sdk-install-guide/ under Linux, adding export PATH=${PATH}:/home/feathertail/Android to my ~/.bashrc file. No dice. Also tried to do a complete reinstall, deleting the Android directory and using Synaptic to perform a complete removal of Eclipse before reinstalling it. I guess I'll try that again, and this time delete the .eclipse directory first if I can find it.

Okay, first off I was supposed to set the PATH to /Android/tools, but I've done that now. And deleting .eclipse and reinstalling everything worked ... I've successfully built and run a test app again. Sorry about that, I don't know why it went weird on me.
