Dex'ing

[Johan Lindquist]

Hi all,

I am looking at creating a dex'd jar as a result of a build (a JAR project) and I can see the dex goal being executed (and the classes.dex created) but it seems it fails due to:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.simpligility.maven.plugins:android-maven-plugin:4.4.1:dex (make-dex-jar) on project player-android-impl: Execution make-dex-jar of goal com.simpligility.maven.plugins:android-maven-plugin:4.4.1:dex failed: For artifact {player-android-impl:player-android-impl:1.5.0-SNAPSHOT:jar}: An attached artifact must have a different ID than its corresponding main artifact. -> [Help 1]

Assume it is attaching the classes.dex but without a classifier?

Also, should it be possible to declare a project with packaging 'dex' and the plugin would sort out a dex'd file as the main artifact?

Cheers,

Johan

Not sure

No... dex is not a packaging type we implement .. only aar, apk, apklib are there.
