This version of ADT is designed for use with SDK Tools r22.6. If you haven't already installed SDK Tools r22.6 into your SDK, use the Android SDK Manager to do so.
General Notes:
Added support for Java 7 language features like multi-catch, try-with-resources, and the diamond operator. These features require version 19 or higher of the Build Tools. Try-with-resources requires minSdkVersion 19; the rest of the new language features require minSdkVersion 8 or higher.
To use the new language features after installing ADT 22.6.0, ensure that you run Eclipse on JDK 7 and change your application project settings to use JDK 7.
[b]Added new lint checks
