android eclipse errors,eclipse - Android build errors - Stack Overflow

I'm getting these errors when trying to build my app in Eclipse. Things started going downhill when the compiler warned me that my .project file was missing.

Then I tried to fix the project and now am getting these errors:

Errors occurred during the build.

Errors running builder 'Android Resource Manager' on project 'net.learn2develop.Layouts.LayoutsActivity'.

Preference node "org.eclipse.jdt.core" has been removed.

Errors running builder 'Android Pre Compiler' on project net.learn2develop.Layouts.LayoutsActivity'.

Path must include project and resource name: /net.learn2develop.Layouts.LayoutsActivity

Errors running builder 'Java Builder' on project 'net.learn2develop.Layouts.LayoutsActivity'.

Preference node "org.eclipse.jdt.core" has been removed.

I only have a red x at the top of my project, but not for any individual files within the project.

Any advice on how to recreate my .project file or resolve these Preference node errors?

I'm new to Android/Eclipse so details would be helpful.

Thanks
