Eclipse reports rendering library more recent than ADT plug-in

Question

On a new Android SDK installation, the Eclipse Graphical Layout is blank, rather than showing the rendering of the layout. Eclipse displays this message:

This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in.

The bug report Eclipse reports rendering library more recent than ADT plug-in lists the steps to reproduce. How do I fix this?

Change the Target version to new updates you have. Otherwise, change what SDK version you have in the Android manifest file.

android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18"
