Eclipse 101: Debug Certificate expired on x/xx/xx xx:xx AM/PM

I'm new to eclipse IDE and when I tested my newly created app for android, I encountered an error "Debug Certificate expired on 6/1/11 10:51 AM".

Developers might encounter this error when using eclipse and what we need to do here is to remove the debug certificate file for eclipse to create a new one.

To do this in linux or mac os, go to your terminal then execute the command below. Make sure you have the proper access to remove the file.

rm ~/.android/debug.keystore


Hope this helps a lot of developers which are new to eclipse IDE. Thank you for reading.
