I got an extremely annyoing error in Eclipse (in the console):

Invalid layout of java.lang.String at value

I cant't make any sense of this, because even Eclipse doesn't display any errors (in the code editor)... This is a real productivity-killer, because it blocks all progress. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this, please answer this question.

Thank you really much in advance,

Till

In case of an Android project, you have to remove Android Lib from the launch configuration for that specific class. Use the "walkthrough" below as a guide.

  • Project->Properties->Run/Debug Settings;
  • Select your Class and click "Edit";
  • Open the tab "Classpath" and remove Android Lib from "Bootstrap Entries";
  • Apply everything and Run the class again.
