I've just recently started getting an error any time I interact with the Android SDK and AVD Manager in Eclipse Helios
I've tried reinstalling the Eclipse plugin and the Android SDK but to no avail.
If I go to the "Installed packages" page and click refresh (or install or remove a package) I get a popup box saying that
'Android SDK Content Loader' has encountered a problem.
parseSdkContent failed
java.lang.NullPointerException.
Here is the full log:

Has anyone else encountered this recently? It doesn't seem to be affecting actual Android development but its just kinda annoying.
The issue is in the your-avd-name.ini
that is located at ...\<user-profile>\.android
on your Windows machine (if you're Windows user). When any error occurs during the avd.ini parser, the Google ADT plugin tries to access a map that is null. The workaround is to delete the offending .ini file and recreate your avd(s).

I solved the problem by deleting the .android directory in my user profile.
