I prepared little script to make it easy dealing with this reoccuring and very annoying problem. Open Terminal, then:

open ~/.bash_profile

at the end of the file paste this function:

  echo "removing ddms.cfg file" 
    cd ~/.android/
    rm ddms.cfg 
  echo "removing cache"

and whenever you are stuck just type in Terminal window:

eclipse-clean
