Eclipse: strange syntax errors

Question

Eclipse is driving me crazy today and comes up with nonsense errors like this one here:

Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error on token ";", delete this 
 token
- Syntax error, insert ";" to complete 
 Statement

This is my code:

View dialogView = (View) findViewById(R.layout.dialog);
 imgMan = new NovelImageManager();
 this.viewMan = new ViewManager(dialogView, this.imgMan);<--- Error happens here.

I have weird problems in other Projects like this one:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 super.onResume();
 loadData();
 if (adView != null) {
 adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
 } else {
 setupAds();
 }
}

causes the following error:

Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error on token "void", @ 
 expected
- overrides 
 android.app.Activity.onResume

The codes worked in the past, so I have no idea why eclipse is acting like that. I know eclipse can be a pain sometimes, but this doesn't make sense.

Any Idea what this could cause?

Clean and Build is your friend here! Especially if you're recently added new resources etc.

Edit: Please update to ADT 20.0.1. The bug has been fixed.

This is a bug in Android Lint. It "holds" Java related errors from the JDT, if you hit the save button at a time where a Java syntax error is present.

You can hit the "Remove all warnings" button in the Android Lint view to get rid of those wrong warnings. Lint will re-create the correct warnings during the next run.
