Try Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching->Launch Operation = Always launch the previously launched operation

It's a bug in ADT 21.0.1. When reverting back to ADT 21.0.0 it all works fine again.

ps. where can I submit this bug?

Try changing the perspective from the top right. Your default perspective might have changed to an android-specific one which does not support/recognize the XML/Java EE.

After the ADT installation, the current perspective selected might be JAVA.
Try changing it to JAVA EE if it is there.
I guess it should solve your problem.

I am using Eclipse Juno Mobile edition so JAVA EE is not there – tomi Jan 07 '13 at 08:48
what i meant was there must be more than 1 java perspectives available to you. Can you try selecting some other and see if the problem still exists? – Rahul Bisht Jan 07 '13 at 08:50
Tried all the different JAVA * perspectives, to no avail – tomi Jan 07 '13 at 08:52
hmm...try updating eclipse then and install/reinstall the version(mobile edition) – Rahul Bisht Jan 07 '13 at 08:54
