I recently downloaded and installed Eclipse Java EE IDE: Indigo Service Release 2. I made a simple application that runs well on the emulator; now I want to try and run it on my android mobile device. From the Android Developers site, I followed the instructions to do so until I got to the point where I needed to locate the USB driver folder for the Google USB driver found in sdk\extras\google\usb_driver. I do not have that driver, so I went on to download it. I was told it was found in the SDK manager under "Extras". I proceeded in Eclipse to Window > Android SDK Manger. I waited for it get done fetching and then went to "Extras". Making sure "Updates/New" was checked as well as "Installed"; however, the only thing under the "Extras" tab is "Android Support Package" and nothing else.
And so here I am ... stuck on what I need to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can get the USB drivers for most devices from the manufacturer's site listed here.
As far as the Google USB drivers, I would ensure you are running the latest version of the Android SDK tools and to try running the program as admin.
I was having a similar issue and I traced my root cause to this error message in the log. XML verification failed for http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository.addon.xml
If this is the case, make sure your JDK/JRE version is 1.6 or greater.
If you are using Windows 7 64 bit, make sure you update your x86 JDK/JRE version as well.
I was having a similar issue and I traced my root cause to this error. I forgot to install Google USB driver. This can be done via SDK manager, ie Android studio->File->Settings->Appearance and behavior->System Settings->Android SDK in tab "SDK tools" check the option for "Google USB Driver" and Apply.
I just noticed that bringing up the SDK manager from within Eclipse will not show the Google USB driver... However, opening it up via the Start Menu will. (Also, run it as Administrator).
