I am new in Android, so when I clone my repo and try to build my app there are issue as on the picture above:
I also Cleaned the projects. But it did not help me. One more strange issue – I have this error only on Mac computer. On Windows 7 everything works fine and gen folder is generated automatically.
The three most influential factors for Eclipse speed are:
The "same" workspace in Indigo (3.7.2) SR2 loads in 4 seconds, in Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) in 7 seconds and in Luna (4.4.0) in 10 seconds. All are Java EE bundles. Newer versions have more bundled plugins, but still the trend is obvious. (by "same" workspace I mean: same (additionally installed) plugins used, same projects checked out from version control).
Launching it with the latest JDK (Java 14 at the time of writing, which does not prevent you to compile in your Eclipse project with any other JDK you want: 1.4.2, 1.5, 1.6 older...)
-vm jdk1.6.0_10\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Configuring the eclipse.ini (see this question for a complete eclipse.ini)
-Xms512m
-Xmx4096m
[...]
The Xmx argument is the amount of memory Eclipse will get (in simple terms). With -Xmx4g, it gets 4 GB of RAM, etc.

From version 4.8 (Photon) an up there was a steady speed gain after each version.
The main platform was optimized every release to load faster, enable more features for the dark theme and to add more features for newer Java versions for the Java development tools.
Especially with-in the last 3 versions the startup time was increased a lot. There should be a significant increase in start-up time with the newest version of Eclipse 2020-12.In my experience it started a lot faster with each new version.
But: There are still plug-ins which do not follow the new way of using the Eclipse API and are therefore still slow to start.
Since the change to Java 11 as the minimum runtime version starting from Eclipse version 2020-09 at least the core system uses the newer features of the JVM. It is up to the providers of the other plug-ins to upgrade to newer APIs and to use the full power of modern CPUs (e.g. concurrent programming model).

Edit: I wrote this long ago but as @ArtOfWarfar and @voidstate mentioned you can now simply:
Right click the gutter and select "Show Line Numbers":
Best Solution
Edit eclipse preferences and select the required android-sdk folder.
Even if it does not work, then you need to download android sdk level 17, then it will work.
