Every time you update software, there is more than a good chance that it probably didn't clean up after itself and has left old and/or orphaned files and entries. Not to mention the settings in different layers of software that you may know nothing about.
There is a good chance Eclipse, ADT and Java keeps all the old settings around update after update. Then you have overall project settings and then specific project settings. The odds of one of those five having a rogue setting that could cause issues is pretty good. The longer you go without cleaning house, the more likely you are to end up with internal problems. That's not even mentioning the fact that each component of Eclipse, and any other plugin you have in Eclipse, also has settings. Just look in your Workspace .metadata directory. Each plugin can carry its own settings in those folders. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of settings that can affect how well your environment behaves.
