This appears to be a change in how ADT creates projects. It's rather unfortunate. It's just a folder for Android support libraries that allow things to run on older versions of Android, so it's okay to ignore it. But the changes affect how our Android projects start off, and I'll need to refresh those videos sooner than planned now.

Thank you Ben, I have been Googling it for the last few hours. Deleted my ADT couple of times and re-installed it. But at least I know that its not something that I am doing wrong. Looking forward to see the your solution to it.
