Check whether any of your class is fully commented or not.If yes, uncomment it. — Siddharth_Vyas, Oct 30 '13 at 11:24

There is a workaround to using the Project -> Android Tools -> Rename Application Package

In the example we'll rename com.my.app to com.my.newapp

ALWAYS BACKUP PROJECTS BEFORE REFACTORING

Expand your project -> gen
Right click com.my.app and select Refactor, enter new name com.my.newapp
The files will be renamed and updated. A package matching the old name will be created, ignore it for now
Open your AndroidManifest.xml and change the Package name to com.my.newapp
Remove the old com.my.app package from gen
Expand Project -> src
Right click com.my.app and refactor to com.my.newapp (include subclasses but don't do text)

Your project should now build with it's new package name. You can now update any textual references to com.my.newapp, check the full AndroidManifest.xml for any extra things to update.

I used this method to rename a project after the standard mechanism failed. It worked in the end, though I needed to manually correct some silly errors that eclipse made in changing the package name + change the references in the AndroidManifest. The errors were pretty easy to find using the "Problems" list in Eclipse. — Eosis, Oct 08 '14 at 14:22
