Updating to ADT 22.6.1

while trying to update ADT to 22.6.1 I ran into the problem twice, as I am keeping copies of Eclipse and Android Studio on several of my machines.

The first incident happened when I updated ADT of the Eclipse IDE on my Windows 8 laptop.
After updating, the build always complains the mismatch versions of Android SDK, the 2nd time it occurred while I updated it for the Android Studio on my MBP.

For the issue on Eclipse, I finally chose to update the ADT manually as it is suggested at the bottom of this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html, then everything became smooth.

For the problem with the Android Studio, I wasted a lot of time to understand why the SDK manager stopped working after Android SDK Tool was updated to 22.6.1.

After installing SDK Tool 22.6.1, I could not have the UI of Android SDK Manager when I started it from Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager, although it was OK to launch the UI when I ran it in the command prompt (SDK->Tools->Android), and I have to uninstalled the Android Studio to get it straight.

After failing 2 or 3 times, I decided to install the Android SDK Tool 22.6.1 first and only install this updates in the step. Then after installing it, everything became OK, and I started to update other packages, such as the Android Wear Preview and Google Support package in Extras.
