The message is
"Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded GC overhead limit exceeded"

Already asked and already solved, more than once.. BTW you should edit the eclipse.ini file and give more Virtual Memory to it!
So, for example:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M -showsplash com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package.product --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m --launcher.defaultAction openFile -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -Xms40m -Xmx768m Those are my default values.. try with something like that
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize 512M -showsplash com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package.product --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 512m --launcher.defaultAction openFile -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -Xms512m -Xmx1024m Look here for more details: Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse
I also find useful when something like GC overhead problems happen this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20461943/3443362 If you don't have so much RAM on your PC/laptop this last suggestion is musch more better..

I am facing the same problem. I give 6GB of RAM to eclipse yet the error is not resolved. Possibly buried but not resolved. I face this issue only with eclipse installations that have the ADT Plugin installed. I guess it's a bug on the plugin.
