Apps How do I get the Google Play Billing Library??

According to Google's docs (https://developer.android.com/training/in-app-billing/preparing-iab-app.html#GetSample)
the Google Play Billing Library, required for in-app purchases and subscriptions,
is obtained from the Android SDK Manager, in the Extras section.

In my Android SDK Manager Extras section, it only shows -
1) Android Support Libary, 2) Google Play services and 3) Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator.

I am rather sure that the Google Play services is NOT the Billing Library.

Let me mention that my Eclipse is v2.0.1.20130919-0803 and there is an update available.
Also my SDK Tools are rev 22.3 and SDK Platform-tools are rev 19 (there are updates for both).

I would rather NOT get the updates at this time.
Must I, in order to get the Billing Libaray?

Thanks
Paul
 
There was an update some time ago that bunched up a lot of different functions in the Google Play Services, even the Admob SDK was deprecated and ad functions are now in the Google Play Services instead.

I never used Billing Library, but I'm pretty sure it's also included in there.
