Cannot delete Android Dependencies Folder [message #1219242]

I have an Android API 10 project which was running fine until I upgraded to Eclipse Kepler from Juno. Now, when I try to run it, I get these errors:

• [2013-11-27 16:39:42 - RoboSkorz] Dx trouble writing output: already prepared

• [2013-11-27 16:39:42 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: java.nio.BufferOverflowException. Check the Eclipse log for stack trace.

• [2013-11-27 16:39:42 - RoboSkorz] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex:java.nio.BufferOverflowException. Check the Eclipse log for stack trace.

I did a clean install of the latest Eclipse Kepler, Android SDK and the Eclipse ADT plugin. No help.

Eclipse adds the annotations.jar in Android Dependencies folder. If I remove the jar from the build path, the project builds and runs OK. But, when I exit and re-start Eclipse, it adds the jar back, and the project fails to run again.

Is the annotations.jar needed for API 10? If not, how can I get rid of it?

Thanks for the links. I will certainly research them.

However, I think there is one question appropriate to Eclipse. I repeatedly remove "Android Dependencies/annotatons.jar" from my project, and every time I re-start Eclipse, it puts the folder and jar back in my project. Why does keep re-inserting the jar?

It may be an ADT thing which you should understand now having read the
sticky post. If you remove the JAR file and/or the dependency from Build
Path -> Libraries, there's no way Eclipse is putting it back in for you
by itself. While I recognize the JAR filename, it's been three years
since I last developed and Android application. I don't remember all the
dependencies and they may have changed anyway.

Per the post, it's doubtful you'll get an answer to this here. I would
suggest one of the forums at this link:

I have fixed the problem which caused the annotations.jar to crash my program, but I'm not sure exactly which change did the trick.

It seemed like the problem resulted from some version incompatibility between the annotations.jar, and other things in the project. I uninstalled both Eclipse and the Android SDK. I re-installed the SDK in a new folder with no spaces in its name and no previous security restrictions (c:\programs). I ran the Android SDK Manager and added components and APIs I needed. I re-installed Eclipse in the same folder. I installed the Android plugin in Eclipse.

It worked.
