title: Eclipse - Android not auto-generating R class
body: <p>have an odd one..</p>
  
  <p>Using Eclipse Juno, and everything was working fine for the last couple months. At some point yesterday, while Eclipse was cleaning my project, something crashed - popped up the Windows error reporting. (Didn't catch the name of what crashed..) </p>
  
  <p>Now, I have no R.java class in /gen, and nothing I've tried will generate it. On top of that, when doing a clean rebuild of the project, the Output window remains blank. (No errors, no status message.. nothing.) </p>
  
  <p>Tried just about everything - including the latest which included reinstalling Eclipse and then ADT. Still hadn't helped. (I have NOT tried clearing the workspace metadata yet, will do that soon.)</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on what else to check?</p>
  
  <p>--Fox.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Updating a random file - either .java or an XML layout/drawable does not have any effect, still nothing. Also, removing saved preferences from workspace .metdata data didn't have an effect either.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit 2:</strong> Okay - not sure WHY it was happening, but creating a new project and the issue was corrected. </p>
  
  <p>So somehow either the project settings (.settings or project.settings) must have gotten corrupted. I have the origianl project still, and am curious to see why it happened, but creating a new project and copying sources and resources over, and no more issue.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks to all that offered comments - goes to show that any kind of little corruption can cause strange things to happen.</p>
