After I installed Worklight 6.1 and the Android plug-in and SDK, I got the below exception when trying to build an app:

[2013-12-13 13:27:07] Starting build process: application 'WorklightTest', all environments
[2013-12-13 13:27:10] Failed importing native project for 'Android phones and tablets' Failed to read project description file from location D:\Development\worklight_dev\WorklightTestApp\apps\WorklightTest\android\native.project.
[2013-12-13 13:27:10] A core eclipse exception has occurred: Failed to read project description file from location D:\Development\worklight_dev\WorklightTestApp\apps\WorklightTest\android\native.project.

Actually, I did it with worklight 6.0...

Your are deploying the app created by which version of worklight – Balaji Sabdhar M
You mention both Worklight 6.0 and 6.1... Do you mean it works for you with 6.0 but not with 6.1? did you try creating a new workspace? – Idan Adar
I tested with Worklight 6.1 and failed it with above exception.And, I already tested same test with Worklight 6.0 without any issue.. – user3098036
You are not answering my question. Did you try with a new workspace for 6.1? is this a new or existing project? – Idan Adar
I made a new workspace, but it failed with same exception – user3098036

I had the exact same problem and on my Windows 7 Machine it was also a Java Install / Version problems as it seems.

I am an IBMer, so I had the IBM Java JRE and SDKs for version 7 installed. Also the Oracle JRE and JDK. Also both for 32bit and 64bit. The command line always referred to the IBM JDK.

Once I removed all the IBM JREs and JDKs and left only the two, Oracle JDK 7-21 in 32bit and 64bit, on my machine, the creation of the Android project was successful.

I had the same issue and got it resolved (under Ubuntu) by updating Java alternative to the same Java SDK (openjdk-7) that is required by Worklight; using:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Also checked the SDK alternative points to the same:

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

I have ran across this issue many times haven't yet found a solid resolution. In my latest experience today, this combination of things worked for me consistently for 3 different occurrences on Windows 7

  • delete native folder in android environment
  • set -vm flag in eclipse.ini to use Oracle JRE
  • start eclipse with -clean flag
