Where is the Visual Editor for Eclipse with the ADT plugin

I thought ADT should come with a visual editor for building GUI : Easy way to build Android UI?

However, I just cannot find it. I was wondering where is the Visual Editor for Eclipse with the ADT plugin.

I can run HelloWorld application without problem. However, whenever I click on main.xml at the left navigation tree layout folder, here is what I get. What I wish to get is a WYSIWYG editor. alt text

Select your main.xml file. At the bottom of eclipse you can see a Layout tab, click on it and eclipse will open the android gui editor.

As Paul Kearny previously noted, to resolve issue with seeing "Design" tab instead of "Graphical Layout" follow these 2 steps:

1) Delete project from the left of the screen, without deleting the source files

2) File -> Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace, browse and select your workspace folder and open your project

Graphical Layout problem fixed!
