Eclipse:This Android SDK requires Android Developer tools 23.0.0 or above?

Question

I am attempting to set the path to my SDK in order to use it within Eclipse Luna, However whenever I do so I get the error:

This Android SDK requires Android Developer tools 23.0.0 or above, please update ADT to latest version.

The issue is that I do not want to update to the the newest version of the ADT plugin, I am purposely using the older version as it is the version compatible with a plugin tool I want to use.

I have installed various SDK build tools versions (namely Rev 21) using SDK manager in order to try and make it compatible with the ADT plugin, however this has not worked.

How can I make the old ADT and SDK compatible? Do I need to download a complete older version of the SDK, rather than just older verion of the build tools?

`I do not want to use the newest version of the ADT` ... **WHY**? You should **ALWAYS** use the latest release of ADT. — Phantômaxx, Nov 20 '14 at 15:10
Because I am trying to use an old version of a plugin/dropin tool for eclipse that is only compatible with an older ADT! :( — user4125772, Nov 20 '14 at 15:13
Look for a newer plugin release or change plugin to something more modern. — Phantômaxx, Nov 20 '14 at 15:17
Surely changing the SDK to an older version would make it compatible with an older version of the ADT? — user4125772, Nov 20 '14 at 15:49
My question is why do you want to **uninstall and reinstall ALL**, when **you can get rid of or get a new version or use a different plugin**... — Phantômaxx, Nov 20 '14 at 16:18
I dont want to get the new version, the 3rd party plugin that I am using is only compatible with an older version of the ADT? — user4125772, Nov 20 '14 at 16:41
