You are seriously confused indeed. Tools r8 will ship with ADT 8.0.0. The version that comes after will be Tools r9 with ADT 9.0.0, and then r10 and ADT 10.0.0, etc... Since both are meant to work together, it seems to me like it's a pretty straight forward versioning scheme. When we release r8 we will clearly explain this new scheme so that users know what to expect. I fail to see how it's more confusing that previous releases of r7 with ADT 0.9.8, r6 with ADT 0.9.7, etc... where the ADT version was completely unrelated to the SDK tools revision number. > For that matter, are they sharing the same version number, or the same > API level? The version number is 2.2, the API level 8.

What are you talking about? Tools don't have an API level, so there's certainly none to share between the SDK Tools and ADT, and, obviously, the API level for the platform has *nothing* to do with revision number for the tools! Yes they both use numbers, but that's about it. I'm not sure how anything I've said brought you to this conclusion. As a reminder, we shipped Tools r6 coincidentally at the same time as Froyo (2.2/API 8), and r7 alone just last week. Yes, the next version will be r8 which happens to be the same number as the API level for 2.2 but I fail to see how that's related. Talk about something elementary...
