I recently transferred my workspace to another workstation then the error "aapt.exe has stopped working" showed.
I have read some answers to uncheck Build Automatically, update my SDK, or make the Android Build Output to Normal then the crash would stop, well it didn't. I also deleted the .metadata of my workspace and basically set the preferences of Eclipse to default again. I copied aapt.exe from the other workstation and replaced mine, and this log showed up:

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] -c specify which configurations to include. The default is all
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] configurations. The value of the parameter should be a comma
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] separated list of configuration values. Locales should be specified
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] as either a language or language-region pair. Some examples:
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] en

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] port,land,en_US
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] If you put the special locale, zz_ZZ on the list, it will perform
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] pseudolocalization on the default locale, modifying all of the
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] strings so you can look for strings that missed the
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] internationalization process. For example:

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] -u update existing packages (add new, replace older, remove deleted files)
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] -v verbose output

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] -S directory in which to find resources. Multiple directories will be scanned
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] and the first match found (left to right) will take precedence.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] -0 specifies an additional extension for which such files will not
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] be stored compressed in the .apk. An empty string means to not
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] compress any files at all.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --debug-mode

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --min-sdk-version
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] inserts android:minSdkVersion in to manifest. If the version is 7 or

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --target-sdk-version
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] inserts android:targetSdkVersion in to manifest.

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] ignores versioned resource directories above the given value.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --values
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] when used with "dump resources" also includes resource values.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --version-code
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] inserts android:versionCode in to manifest.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --version-name

[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --custom-package
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] generates R.java into a different package.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --extra-packages
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] generate R.java for libraries. Separate libraries with ':'.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --generate-dependencies
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] generate dependency files in the same directories for R.java and resource package
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --auto-add-overlay
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Automatically add resources that are only in overlays.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --preferred-configurations
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Like the -c option for filtering out unneeded configurations, but
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] only expresses a preference. If there is no resource available with
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] the preferred configuration then it will not be stripped.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --rename-manifest-package
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Rewrite the manifest so that its package name is the package name
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] given here. Relative class names (for example .Foo) will be
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] changed to absolute names with the old package so that the code
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] does not need to change.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --rename-instrumentation-target-package
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Rewrite the manifest so that all of its instrumentation
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] components target the given package. Useful when used in
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] conjunction with --rename-manifest-package to fix tests against
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] a package that has been renamed.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --product
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Specifies which variant to choose for strings that have
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] product variants
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --utf16
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] changes default encoding for resources to UTF-16. Only useful when API
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] level is set to 7 or higher where the default encoding is UTF-8.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --non-constant-id
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Make the resources ID non constant. This is required to make an R java class
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] that does not contain the final value but is used to make reusable compiled
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] libraries that need to access resources.
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] --ignore-assets
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] Assets to be ignored. Default pattern is:
[2013-05-21 14:36:42 - example] !.svn:!.git:.*:<dir>_*:!CVS:!thumbs.db:!picasa.ini:!*.scc:*~
Basically, my project's src files have errors about R since aapt.exe crashes and can't generate R, basing from this link.
