Apps HelloWorld Crashes

I can't seem to get this Android development started. This is the 2nd time I have tried and I got a lot further this time than the first time.

I am an pretty good with Eclipse, but the HelloWorld app for Android keeps crashing on me. I can't do the Run -> Run step without the crashing. Where do I begin to debug this issue?

Eclipse Version
3.5 (I tried with 3.4 and 3.5)

Java Version:
6.0_22-b04 ( I have tried with Java 1.4.x, 1.5.x, and now 1.6.x)

Version 6 of Java actually spit something out in the Eclipse Console:
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# Internal Error (classFileParser.cpp:3161), pid=4280, tid=7160
# Error: ShouldNotReachHere()
#
# JRE version: 6.0_22-b04
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (17.1-b03 mixed mode windows-x86 )
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# C:\development\HelloAndroid\hs_err_pid4280.log
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error Reporting Page

Thanks
 
I gave up and started fresh one last time. So far ... it works!!!!!

I did a fresh Eclipse 3.6 (java 6 u22) install and left off a lot of the dev tools I normally use (WTP, PDT, Spring Framework). I installed the Android dev plugin and set the location of the Android SDK.

So I have 3 installs of Eclipse now, one for 'normal' java dev, one for PHP dev, and now one for Android dev. LOL!

Thanks for the reply!
