So I have a project that works totally fine in one workspace on my machine. I push it to the repository so everyone else can work on it. I go to pull it down making sure all the changes are good. I import the project into a new workspace and using eclipse with autobuild on it produces no errors.
I go to the command line and run ant clean release on the project and right before it gets to run crunch on the assets the build fails with a mulitple dex files define error. Ive checked the project high and low and compared to the other copy of it in the original workspace but for what ever reason I cant get it to build. I erase the bin and gen folders and remove all the imports and basically leave just the project, run clean in eclipse, and still get a dex define error related to one of the lib projects classes. Ive tried to find where extra copies could be but I dont find anything.
googling around for the past few days hasnt helped as the normal solutions to such a problem havent worked for me. So what is the best way to figure out where the extra class definitions are coming from so I can get rid of them and fix the repository so I can use it correctly. I have a feeling its related to one of the files in the project that I should be excluding in my gitignore but Im not sure which that would be. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated cause this has eaten quite a bit of time of just messing around.
When you have more than one class with the same package name this error would raise.
One of the common source of this issue is when you have for example different version on the same library.
For example your add ActionbarSherlock which in 'libs forder has it's own support library and also your project has another version of support library in it's libs folder. In such a cases you should put one version of support library.jar to all different libraries that you using it.
I hope this could help you.
I didnt find the root of the problem but I figured out a fix. I moved all the support libraries to a new root folder completely away from the android project. Once I did that and cleaned everything I then ran ant clean release and the project built fine.

When cleaning out my Workspace folder for a clearer view in Eclipse, I deleted android-support-v7-appcompat project thinking it was a sample code I downloaded a while ago. I figured out it wasn't a wise move and restored it back, importing it from Eclipse. I now have a problem accessing the R elements, even in new automatically generated projects. For example accessing the following elements gives a cannot be resolved or is not a field error on the last element:
R.layout.activity_crime, R.menu.crime, R.id.action_settings. I tried to rebuild the project, deleting the gen folder so R.java would regenerate but nothing changes. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
A brief aside - it is honestly worth moving over to Android studio. I used eclipse until very recently and so many of these annoying little errors have been resolved.
Few things I used to do to fix this error:
Delete R class if it has been generated.
Make sure there is no errors in your xml.
Clean the project.
Make sure your build path is all correct.
restart eclipse
LAST RESORT: Make a new android project and copy over your code.
Hope this helps. Once again, really recommend AS.
Till you have problem in your "res" folder, R.java class could not be generated.
So try to resolve all problems (in xml files) before.
Try the following, until one of these results in success:
Look through your XML files for any errors and fix them.
Clean your project.
Restart Eclipse.
Clean again.
Create a new, clean workspace and import your existing project into it.
As for recreating the workspace – I have myself come across similar issues after messing with some internals, and recreating the workspace was the only way to fix it.
I am having trouble setting up the build path of my java project. I am currently in a Co-Op IT position so I am somewhat new to all this. My background is mostly in C++ and I am learning java on the fly. I am also somewhat new to Eclipse (Kepler service release 1).
I am working on a bug on an existing program and need to get the program to build so I can work on it. When I add all of the external .jar files that I know for a fact are the right ones, I am getting this error on two of them :
"Archive for required library: '(location of file)' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file"
Two of the other full time guys on my team have gotten the program to run with those exact same .jar files, one running Eclipse Indigo and the other running the same Kepler version as myself. I also was able to open the two .jar files manually and everything appears to be there. After every trial trying to fix this, I have refreshed, cleaned and restarted eclipse. The two other full time guys said they have never seen this error. I would like to get some insight on this from anyone who has any similar experiences so that I don't have to use up much more of their time.
I Had this issue, just fixed by deleting .jar files from Libs directory then copy->paste original Jars again. Then do a complete clean -> rebuild
I got this problem, took help from following link solution
which basically says to
1. delete the corresponding maven download folder
2. maven>update project in eclipse
In my case I deleted hibernate folder, since i was getting error related to hibernate-validator.jar
I had the same error here. What I did to resolve the problem was close and reopen the project.
I got the same problem and found out the root cause is the JDK in my linux shell is set to 1.6, but in the eclipse, the JRE is 1.7.
Using Eclipse without m2e features (Standard Edition) helped me.
Similar problem with Spring toolsuite
Just came across this link that shows a way to get unblocked.
In preferences dialog box go to
Java->Compiler->Building
and change Incomplete build path to "Warning" (from default "Error")
This can be done globally (for all projects), or on a project by project basis.
Check the jar's file permissions/ownership.
I had the same issue on eclipse installed on Linux and fixed it by setting the file permissions right.
In my case ..worked after removing this from spirngrest-servlet.xml file.
<prop key="net.sf.ehcache.configurationResourceName">/Sysehcache.xml</prop>
I think it had to do with default location of maven repository of jar files.
Been at it for 3 days. finally solved it.Hope it helps anyone.Just look for similar think in your spirngrest-servlet.xml file. Good luck.
I just tried the following and it worked:
Close eclipse as there might be some files eclipse is accessing and you won't be able to delete.
Delete all the libraries installed in the maven repositories folder: ".m2/repository"
Open eclipse and update your project(Alt+F5).
What did we just do? : This is possible that the existing libraries in the local repository are erroneous and maven tries to open which it fails in. We have now deleted the already existing library and with the project update, Maven will download the library again which should resolve the issue.
i fixed this by just deleting everything inside of the /Users/username/.m2/repository folder. not the repository folder itself. and then running a mvn clean package in the project folder
I've been searching the web for a long time, and it seams that this VerifyError isn't that uncommon and can have multiple reasons for tripping. I have created a project, that I've exported as a jar file. It is built with android 2.2 (API 8). This part works fine. But I have a separate project that when I try to import it, I start having problems.
The only way I've been able to get it to work, is to import the jar into a libs folder I created. It then get's automatically added as an Android Dependency and I can use it fine, however I can't attach my javadoc file to it, and in my build configuration it says I can't modify the dependency. (Can't link to a javadoc).
What I thought I should be able to do is simply add it as an external jar, then link the javadoc and source. If I do this, the code that uses the jar shows no errors, and the javadoc comments work. However I keep getting a VerifyError when I run it. I've attached a stack trace that shows the errors. I'm completely out of ideas, does anyone have any suggestions? Am I building the jar file wrong? Am I importing it wrong?
If anyone can help point me in a constructive direction, it would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Stack trace:
Ok, so this was frustrating to solve. The solution took about 20 seconds when I spent over an hour researching the problem.
What I had to do was go to:
Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export
But rather than just clicking the external jar, I had to move it up to the top of the list for the build path order.
Credit definitely goes to yorkw for pointing me in the right direction.
I believe that Android jar files are a little different.
You could try putting the JAR files into the Android "dx" tool
It's in the ~/android-sdk/platform-tools
I am taking over code someone else wrote and am having to find everything they used for this project manually because they didn't send everything that was needed. (One of those out of the country contract work deals.) Anyway, I'm having trouble finding something. They imported com.wavemaker.runtime.data, com.wavemaker.runtime.services and com.wavemaker.json.type and I can't figure out how to get these unresolved errors to go away. I've moved WaveMaker into the same folder as my project and I've searched high and low for a .jar file on my machine and on the internet to no avail. Please help?? (FYI I'm using Eclipse & Java)
This is easy, you have to add the jars to the eclipse configuration path (i.e: ~/WaveMaker/projects/wm_example_project/lib), when you find it, make sure that you add all those libs to your build path.
I'm a bit new to Java / Processing and I opened up a project/workspace with the following errors:
is missing required library: '/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/javamail/smtp.jar'
/javamail/dsn.jar
/javamail/mailapi.jar
/javamail/pop3.jar
I have the Processing app installed, but it's been a while...do I just need to upgrade processing or is there another place I need to go to get these .jar files?
I'm using Eclipse and there seems to be quite a list of referenced jar files (some broken)
It's telling you that there used to be a library at
/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/javamail/smtp.jar
but it's no longer there, or possibly you opened a project that somebody else edited on a different machine where things were laid out differently.
Open the project build-path dialog and make sure all the libraries point to the correct locations.
If the problem still persist, try doing clean and build in eclipse. It might help.
