I just created a new project in android using eclipse. Just a plain and simple default project. But the project folder is showing some error at the root level. Not able to detect anything about it. I checked the following to rectify:
- manifest file is ok.
- android build path is ok.
- cleaned the project too.
what could be the problem?

Ok here is the console error:

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] Modifiers:
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -a print Android-specific data (resources, manifest) when listing
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -c specify which configurations to include. The default is all
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] configurations. The value of the parameter should be a comma
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] separated list of configuration values. Locales should be specified
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] as either a language or language-region pair. Some examples:
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] en
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] port,en
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] port,land,en_US
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] If you put the special locale, zz_ZZ on the list, it will perform
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] pseudolocalization on the default locale, modifying all of the
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] strings so you can look for strings that missed the
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] internationalization process. For example:
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] port,land,zz_ZZ
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -d one or more device assets to include, separated by commas

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -u update existing packages (add new, replace older, remove deleted files)

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -x create extending (non-application) resource IDs
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -z require localization of resource attributes marked with

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -G A file to output proguard options into.

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -I add an existing package to base include set
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -J specify where to output R.java resource constant definitions
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -M specify full path to AndroidManifest.xml to include in zip
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -P specify where to output public resource definitions
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -S directory in which to find resources. Multiple directories will be scanned
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] and the first match found (left to right) will take precedence.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] -0 specifies an additional extension for which such files will not
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] be stored compressed in the .apk. An empty string means to not
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] compress any files at all.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --debug-mode
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] inserts android:debuggable="true" in to the application node of the
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] manifest, making the application debuggable even on production devices.

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] inserts android:minSdkVersion in to manifest. If the version is 7 or
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] higher, the default encoding for resources will be in UTF-8.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --target-sdk-version
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] inserts android:targetSdkVersion in to manifest.

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] ignores versioned resource directories above the given value.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --values
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] when used with "dump resources" also includes resource values.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --version-code
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] inserts android:versionCode in to manifest.

[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --auto-add-overlay
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] Automatically add resources that are only in overlays.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --rename-manifest-package
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] Rewrite the manifest so that its package name is the package name
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] given here. Relative class names (for example .Foo) will be
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] changed to absolute names with the old package so that the code
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] does not need to change.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --rename-instrumentation-target-package
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] Rewrite the manifest so that all of its instrumentation
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] components target the given package. Useful when used in
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] conjunction with --rename-manifest-package to fix tests against
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] a package that has been renamed.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --product
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] Specifies which variant to choose for strings that have
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] product variants
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --utf16
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] changes default encoding for resources to UTF-16. Only useful when API
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] level is set to 7 or higher where the default encoding is UTF-8.
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] --non-constant-id
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] Make the resources ID non constant. This is required to make an R java class
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] that does not contain the final value but is used to make reusable compiled
[2011-10-22 13:27:32 - eatapp] libraries that need to access resources.
If you have updated your
ADTto the latest versionADT-14, you will be getting this error. There is absolutely no error but still the project shows error, am I right?The solution is to update
Android SDK platform Toolsto Version-8Start Android SDK manager > Sort by APIs. Below Android SDK tools, you will find Android SDK platform tools (the version might not be there). Update it.
