android - Fatal Error: Invalid Layout of java.lang.String at value

Question

I got an extremely annyoing error in Eclipse (in the console):

Invalid layout of java.lang.String at value

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Internal Error (javaClasses.cpp:129), pid=15238, tid=140306591237888
fatal error: Invalid layout of preloaded class

 JRE version: 7.0_07-b10
 Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (23.3-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed ops)
 Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again

 An error report file with more information is saved as:

I cant't make any sense of this, because even Eclipse doesn't display any errors (in the code editor)... This is a real productivity-killer, because it blocks all progress. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this, please answer this question.

Thank you really much in advance,

In case of an Android project, you have to remove Android Lib from the launch configuration for that specific class. Use the "walkthrough" below as a guide.

• Project->Properties->Run/Debug Settings;
• Select your Class and click "Edit";
• Open the tab "Classpath" and remove Android Lib from "Bootstrap Entries";
• Apply everything and Run the class again.
