Summary: Unable to build after update

Initial Comment:
After a few years of successfully using the AVR plug-in with Helios, I performed an update and installed the current AVR plug-in.  Nothing has worked since then.

When trying to build a project that I created prior to the update, I get this message:
make: *** No rule to make target `HTShield', needed by `all'.  Stop.

I also see this error message under Tool Chain Editor in the C/C++ Build options tab (Release configuration is set active)
Orphaned configuration. No base extension cfg exists for de.innot.avreclipse.configuration.app.release.962934954

When I create a new project and try and build it, I get this message:
make all
Building file: C:/Documents and Settings/Jim/My Documents/AVRcode/AVR-source/HTShield/main.c
Invoking: AVR Compiler
make: write error

Lastly, the avr include directory is not being automatically created as it used to be.  I can manually add the appropriate WinAVR directory, but new projects automatically had this set up prior to the update.

I'm not sure where I went wrong because the plug-in was working wonderfully before I did the update!

Windows XP, WinAVR-20100110, Helios.

Message:
Maintaining backward compatibility in tools development is always an extra
effort. It may be worth it if you're a professional developer (and get paid
for it, because it is also a rather boring issue) or if you aim at a really
large and rather inexperienced user base.

Did you try to create a new project from scratch? If that doesn't work
immediately, maybe also try using a new workspace *and* create a new
project, because eclipse saves some configuration information in the
workspace. Does that work for you?
