Comment 1 Henry Bruce 2014-12-05 23:43:59 UTC 
This turned out to be a documentation bug. 

In http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6.1/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#adt-eclipse
section 4.2.2.1.4.1. "Configuring the Cross-Compiler Options", contains a subsection

"Specify the Sysroot Location: This location is where the root filesystem for the target hardware resides. If you used the ADT Installer script and accepted the default installation directory, then the location is /opt/poky/1.6.1."

The location should read /opt/poky/1.6.1/sysroots
Comment 2 Scott Rifenbark 2015-01-16 17:54:26 UTC 
Hi, 

I have added "sysroots" to the end of this path.  Note that the change will be visible in the 1.8 release of the documentation.  You can see the change here:

Thanks,
