How are you creating the XML file -- using the "New Android XML File" wizard, selecting "Menu" among the type radio buttons? What name are you choosing? Also, which version of Eclipse and ADT?
If you can generate a thread dump of the frozen IDE, that would help. For example, use "jstack <pid>". Here are some instructions on how to obtain a stack trace - http://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock (but *don't* file a bug in the Eclipse bug tracker as stated in that document; instead use http://b.android.com ). -- Tor On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 2:28 PM, Dustin Lane <r.dustin.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am having nearly the exact same problem.
