What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm on Linux Mint 64bits, not using Eclipse, compiling with `ant debug`.

Please provide any additional information below.
I've tried to remove the bin and gen folders and compile again.

Hi Hugo.

Seems it isn't a plugin problem, since it's working with Eclipse and Netbeans 
IDE. It's a compilation problem, you should check with the ant team.

See ya.

I got around this by compiling the project as a library (set 
android.library=true in project.properties) and using the resulting library in 
my own project (android.library.reference.1=../ForegroundCameraPlugin).
