Eclipse error: NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/ref/FinalReference

Question

I\'ve installed Eclipse for android and that works okay. When I try to start a java-file I got the following error: Error occurred during initialization of VM java/lang/NoCl

Answer 1

I have been frustrated by this error for several days, by comparing with my colleagues Eclipse preferences with mine, the problem was fixed by changing the Java compliance level from 1.7 to 1.6. This will also change the generated .class files and source compatibility to 1.6.
