Answer 1

With the new ADT 20, if the project has a jni folder or/and an Android.mk file the c++ nature is added by the plugin by default,

In general to remove the C++ nature, you just need to delete the .cproject file in the project tree, remove and re-import project in the workspace and you're good to go (c++ project nature removed).

But I think you should just add the macro definitions and build imports and eclipse will work just fine. If you go to

Project properties->C/C++ general->Paths and symbols

and there you add the path to the NDK includes for the corresponding platform (something like)

{NDK_PATH}/platforms/android-9/arch-arm/usr/include 

and all your build script added imports as well as any build script declared macros eclipse will handle the jni stuff just fine.
