Cannot open XML files on Eclipse

Question

I've got a problem with the basic HelloWorld program. I didn't change the basic program. But, when I want to open any *.xml file in the res/values folder an exception appears:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details. java.lang.NullPointerException

And here is the exception stack trace:

It looks like you haven't set up Eclipse correctly. Did you follow the instructions at:-
