Answer 1

Just for the record, this was likely caused by Windows UAC, see java.com's description.

Answer 2

As you didn't accept any answer yet, one of the possible cause of this error is to have some class with main constructor where that class is not the default activity. To solve the problem:

1. Run configuration.
2. in the tree of lunch configuration, remove that class from java application if listed. (but keep the android application listed in the tree of lunch applications)
