Eclipse - Galaxy Tab 7 with Android 2.3.4 not showing in Devices

Problem:

The Tablet is not showing in the "Devices" view.
Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging is grayed out and not available to select.

The fix to the problem was simple, however it took several days to figure out as I always connect USB as a first thing:

1. unplug the USB cable
2. the "USB debugging" checkbox becomes available
3. select (check) "USB debugging"
4. re-connect the USB and it should show in devices

While investigating my options I updated from "Available Packages"
GALAXY Tab by Samsung Electronics., Android API 8, revision 1

Solution (partial):
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is NOT 3.1, but 3.0.1 as of this writing therefore the libraries are missing.  Update the device to current 3.1 in the

Answer from Samsung on StockOverflow

Accessory mode currently doesn't work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Samsung is aware of the issue and is working on resolving it. When the device does support accessory mode you should be able to use the com.android.future.usb.* APIs which will make it easier for you to write an app that works both with Android 3.1 and 2.3.4.
