There is no project.properties and NullPointerException file when building a new Android application

I have a terrible time to figure out a problem that makes it impossible to use the new Android Application Wizard in ADT to create a new Android project. First, a little background. I have been using ADT (ADT kit) for about 6 months and have not had a problem. Since the current problem appears only when trying to create new projects (there are no problems with creating existing projects), and I did not create any new project, I do not know what could accelerate it. I can think of two things:

  • I recently upgraded my OS to Mavericks.
  • I installed JDK 7 recently (I used 6)

Similar questions were asked here and here , but the quality of the answers does not seem very good to me. Firstly, I really don't want a workaround unless this is a legitimate mistake. It seems to me that this is not a mistake, because I think that many people will have problems. This is a pretty big problem. I think I should be missing out on something pretty obvious.

I see that after trying to create a project, the project directory structure in the workspace looks correct, but almost all the files are missing, including project.properties, which seem to be involved in the problem I'm based on the error log (below).

I have done the following:

  • At first I tried updating both eclipse and ADT. Bad luck.
  • I tried to create projects in new workspaces
  • I uninstalled and reloaded the ADT package
  • I uninstalled and reinstalled JDK 7 (following oracle removal instructions)

After you click Finish using the new Android Application Wizard, you receive the following error message:

Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'Android Resource Manager' on project 'test'. java.lang.NullPointerException

The error log looks like this (I wanted to include a screenshot, but the site will not allow me because I'm a new user. Instead, I copy and paste messages in the order in which they appear in my log (from the last to the last):

 Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'Android Resource Manager' on project 'test'. Failed to load properties file for project 'test' Failed to load properties file for project 'test' Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.core.resources". Failed to load properties file for project 'test' [No message for this one, but stack trace is for an InvocationTargetException] Failed to load properties file for project 'test' Failed to load properties file for project 'test'

Finally, here is the stack trace for NPE and InvocationTargetException.

This is my first stackoverflow question. Please let me know how I can improve this. I am using eclipse version 22.6.2-1085508 and

Well, therefore, since I could not solve this problem, I switched to Android Studio and I had no problems, but when I recently got a new computer, I decided that I could just go back to the ADT kit without a problem. Wrong. I had the same problem.

I don’t understand why, but deleting jdk1.7.0_60.jdk "solved" this problem. I had the idea to try this from some other answers to questions (unfortunately, I had problems finding them again for reference). In any case, I could not find an explanation of why this worked or any suggestion on how to achieve it without removing my JDK (which I need). Any answers or tips that lead me in the right direction when calculating the cause will be highly appreciated. Otherwise, I think I will ask a new question.

Update

I reinstalled jdk and don't seem to have a problem.

Only eclipse.ini is fixed ... open the file --launcher.appendVmargs -vm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Commands/java -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion = 1,6 -XstartOnFirstThread. .. Good luck.

I opened eclipse.ini and changed the -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion = parameter from 1.7 to 1.6, of course, I have java 6 installed on the machine, it works for me. Hope this helps you.
