I haven t seen this specific problem  but you may get better results with Eclipse Helios or Indigo  Galileo is getting old and is unlikely to be tested as much as the more recent Eclipse platforms

Try using Eclipse Indigo  http   www eclipse org downloads  and follow the instructions on how to install Android ADT from  http   developer android com sdk eclipse-adt html

Also  make sure that the version of the ADT is supported by the AndroidSDKTools  That fixed my problem  In the SDK Manager  File- Reload will lead to the latest revisions

This is caused by incomplete messy upgrade to latest version which results in dx jar missing from  Android SDK dir  platform-tools lib    Solution   Find your latest dx jar in  Android SDK dir  platforms     and copy it to    Android SDK dir  platform-tools lib   Restart eclipse  clean your project and everything should work as expected    If platform-tools lib directory is missing entirely you will have to reinstall  Android SDK platform-tools  using SDK manager  After reinstall dx jar should be in there so no copying will be needed   If you can t find dx jar in any of  Android SDK dir  platforms   subdirs you will have to start SDK manager and install Android 1 6 SDK   For example on my machine latest was in  Android SDK dir  platforms android-4 tools lib    I did not find any newer version as of 2012-01-22 Android SDK R15    I really hope that this is useful for someone  because I ve wasted half a day investigating and looking for solution of such a trivial bug     -

Windows 7 64 bit  Intel i7  This happened to me as well after I updated the SDK to be Jelly Bean compatible  The folder platform-tools lib was gone  I also wasn t able to uninstall reinstall the program-tools in the SDK manager at first  It gave me the error that a particular file in the android temp folder was not there  I had to change the permissions on the android folder to allow every action  and that solved it
