Sometimes the Logcat is empty in Eclipse because the emulator doesn't have the focus. Go to the DDMS perspective and try clicking on the 'emulator' entry in the top-left screen.
Can be even more confusing if there's also a real G1 connected, then you have to choose from which one you want to see the output :)
Hope this helped.
