android sdk main.out.xml parsing error?

Question

I just started a new Android project, \"WeekendStudy\" to continue learning Android development and I got stumped compiling the default \'hello weekendstudy\' compile / run.

Answer 1

This appears to be an issue with one of eclipse's XML plugins, I think it is something in Web Tools. I used to be able to run the app from any file, be it XML or java, but once I installed Web Tools I started seeing this error. It really is annoying, I am so used to pressing Ctrl-F11 to build the app...but if you do that in an XML file you get this error. The fix mentioned above does work, but it is extra steps and less efficient to have to right-click the project and select Run As... blah blah. If anyone figures out a clean solution - besides removing Web Tools of course - to get me back my shortcut key I would be grateful.
