I restarted eclipse and the error changed to error: Error parsing XML: unbound prefix on the same line

I am trying to use this plugin in my android phonegap application. It is a local notification plugin. I am getting the error in my config.xml file on this line:

<gap:plugin name=de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification version=0.6.2 />

There is a similar question about this problem here, but the answer is not related to my problem.

Here is my config.xml file:

<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?>

<widget xmlns     = http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets

        id        = com.xxx.xxx

I am using eclipse with the adt plugin. I generated an android application and made some modification to it so it would work with phonegap (its working fine without the local notification plugin). I am using cordova 2.9.0 version.
How can I solve this problem?
