Android Eclipse issue Failed to create BuildConfig class


I am getting "Failed to create BuildConfig class" error while cleaning android project in eclipse. I have recently installed Eclipse Juno for Mobile developers and while I was trying to import my existing android applications, Eclipse started giving me this kind of error.

Eclipse is working fine If I create new android projects. What could be the possible cause and probable solution for this issue?

I am using OS - Windows Server 2008


Solution

  • I had the error after updating (installing) Juno and letting it migrate my workspace and local git repo. Before that error I got another error:

    JavaBuilder handling ImageBuilderInternalException while building: <projectname>
    

    Finally I found out that the error was caused by file perms and the problem resolved after resetting them:

    chown <me>:<me> <my-repo>
    

    The reason behind the broken permissions: during the process of installing the MOTODEV plugins to Eclipse JUNO I had to start my Eclipse with 'sudo'. Obviously that run overwrote some of my files during the automatic build.
