when i try and create a new class the api version dropdown only shows 23.0 for API version 

I'v e checked for updates and apparently there is no IDE 24  that i can see.

Is this just a matter of editing the class meta xml  APIversion tag after i create the class?

Using Eclipse Helios version 1.3, Java 1.6, and the Force.com IDE plugin (eclipse is also used for java development)

In my development environment, I can't seem to upgrade to API version 24, only version 23.  I've tried both updating from Eclipse and from the Force.com start page.

I'm sure i'm missing something obvious - any help is appreciated....
