Hello,
There is a bug in the IDE that causes code generation and compile errors when the directory structure for the source code is too deep.  Try changing your Development Configuration root folder to something like "c:\.dtc" and then create a new project and build.  Window->preferences->Java Development Infrastructure-> Development Configuration Pool.  Now all new projects should be stored in this new directory.
If this does not work, you can also try moving your default workspace to "c:\ws".  Windows->preferences->workbench->workspace.  You must restart your IDE after you do this.
Regrards,
Austin.
