I have an Android project that I've been happily building for weeks in Eclipse Indigo. I have not changed any settings, libraries, or workspace components, or added or removed any files. A few hours ago I was doing a "Run as" to run my app on a phone and Eclipse did a hard hang. I couldn't even kill it in Task Manager so I rebooted my PC.
Now when I try to build my app I get
"The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the build path then try building this project"
I deleted gen and did a clean and build with the same result. In the project Properties for the build path, in the Libraries tab it shows
- Android Dependencies
- Android Private Libraries
- Unable to get system library for the project.
Any idea what's going on? This Eclipse "build path is incomplete" error is very common but when I search Stack Overflow and Google, most of the cases seem to be related to importing new projects, moving workspaces, changing libraries or other things I didn't do.
Thanks in advance!

I fixed my problem.
I did a File>Switch Workspace and switched to another workspace that had a different project in it. Then I switched back to my original workspace and everything was fine.
So we can add this to the very long list of folk-remedies, nostrums, old-wives-tales, superstitions and other bits of software lore that accompany the various weird bugs that afflict Eclipse. I sure hope Android Studio turns out to be better than this!
