Any ideas if this is a problem and what is causing it? It occurs whether I Clean just my project or all projects

My Development Environment is: Eclipse 3.5.2 with ADT 0.9.7 (2.1) and Java SDK 6 Update 21 32bit Windows XP VirtualBox VM on 64bit Windows 7 AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor @3.20GHz with 4GB RAM

I had the exact same problem.

Closing the AndroidProject, Restarting Eclipse and Reopening the AndroidProject solved the problem for me! Not at the first time, but after second or third time doing this, the error just disappered!

Weired thing is that by searching at google you pretty much only get this thread. So seems like it is a very new problem, maybe some update of the SDK that caused it.
