Eclipse gives this error: "Could not create the view: com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.views.LogCatView"

Question

I just installed Kepler, and when I try to run it under MacOSX, the logcat window contains nothing but this error message:

Could not create the view: com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms.views.LogCatView

In fact, there are several windows in the UI displaying similar error messages.

The key messages from the error log seem to be:

Is there something I need to do to install Kepler other than to unpack it somewhere and run ./eclipse/eclipse? That's always worked for me before. Should I do something special to uninstall the previous version of Eclipse?

Answer 1

It might be the case of eclipse android plugin might have not been installed properly..Please try reinstalling it
