Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Eclipse with android plugin and sdk. I'm using android 2.2 btw.
2.use it a couple of times

So a fresh install of Eclipse always works properly?

Closing due to lack of information needed for reproduction. It's not reproducible using fresh Eclipse install. Please reopen if you see this again or if you find reproducible steps.
