Can't find v7 Preference Support Library in Eclipse ADT

Question

I'm currently using Eclipse ADT 23.0.7 for android app development. My SDK manager is updated for Android 6.0 shown in below.

.

I want to use v7 Preference Support Library in my project. but, unfortunately I can't found it in my (sdk)/extras/android/support/v7 directory as stated in Android Developer Website .

I can't figure out what to do. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

UPDATE 1

I've also tried to re-download the library but, nothing happen. Preference library is still missing.

Google stopped to provide Eclipse projects. It pushes developers to migrate from Eclipse to Android Studio. So all libraries are available as *.aar files

But it is still possible to these files in Eclipse. Find the aar for your library at \\android-sdk\\extras\\android\\m2repository\\com\\android\\support\\preference-v7\\23.0.1\\

Then use instructions from CommonsWare guy Consuming AARs from Eclipse :

1. UnZIP the AAR into some directory.

2. Create an empty directory that will be the home for the Android library project. For the rest of these steps, I will refer to this as “the output directory”.

3. Copy the AndroidManifest.xml, res/, and assets/ directories from the AAR into the output directory.

4. Create a libs/ directory in the output directory. Copy into libs/ the classes.jar from the root of the unZIPped AAR, plus anything in libs/ in the AAR (eg, mediarouter-v7 has its own JAR of proprietary bits).

5. Decide what build SDK you want to try to use. You might just choose the highest SDK version you have installed. Or, you can use the android:minSdkVersion and the -vNN resource set qualifiers to get clues as to what a good build SDK might be. If desired, create a project.properties file with a target=android-NNN line, where NNN is your chosen build SDK. Or, you can address this in Eclipse later on.

6. Import the resulting project into Eclipse, and if needed adjust the build SDK (Project > Properties > Android). Also, you will need to attach to this library project any library projects it depends upon (eg, mediarouter-v7 depends upon appcompat-v7).
