Android ADT Eclipse: Unknown error: java.lang.NullPointerException

Do you have this error?

[2011-06-03 09:52:51 - AndroidSamNinteen] Unknown error: java.lang.NullPointerException

If you have this error, GIVE UP NOW.

This error cannot be fixed.

Eclipse is corrupted in a way that cannot be recovered.

the only solution I have ever found (sixth time) is the second you see this error, remove everything, delete all files and start over.

1. New install of Eclipse

2. New install of ADT

3. Recreate project by hand (import source files)

4. Now it will build

Eclipse Android

#Eclipse ADT for #Android and Windows XP -- a match made in heaven. They both need to be restarted about 27 times a day.

Why is /tools/ so bad?

Does Google use any of these tools?
