Problem updating the Android SDK in Eclipse

When updating the Android SDK from the Android SDK Manager in Eclipse you may encounter an error with the following message:

-= warning! =- A folder failed to be renamed or moved. On Windows this typically means that a program Is using that Folder (for example Windows Explorer or your anti-virus software.) Please momentarily deactivate your anti-virus software. Please also close any running programs that may be accessing the directory 'C:\opt\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools'. When ready, press YES to try again.

Many forums suggests to disable the antivirus software and retry, but that didn't work for me. The solution turned out to be very simple. Close Eclipse, open a command prompt and navigate to the tools folder of your Android SDK, in my case C:\opt\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools. Then give the command:

android update sdk

The environment will now be updated.
