[Q] ADT 8.0.0 doesn't like Java libraries?

---

Just updated to ADT 8.0.0 for Gingerbread goodness, and now it won't compile a project that compiled perfectly well on the previous version with the following error:

[2010-12-06 20:55:23 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: null
[2010-12-06 20:55:23 - DummyAndroidProject] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null

I've narrowed this down to the fact that my Android project references a pure Java Eclipse project I have in the same workspace, which is a platform-neutral library I wrote myself. I confirmed by creating a blank Java project with an empty class, and a blank Android project that referenced the Java project as a library. This triggered the above dex error.

Has anyone else encountered this? I'm sure I'm not the only one who references external projects in this way?

I got the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?

Nothing yet. Going to report it as a bug and see of this behaviour is intentional. I certainly hope not.

As a workaround, manually including the library as a .jar should work...

Ok, now got it logged as bug 13000 (!) right here.

My current workaround is to link the source of my Java project to my Android project (right click Android project, 'Build Path' > 'Link Source')

FYI, Google have just pushed out AT 8.0.1 that fixes this bug. Hooray!
