Case in point: Android does not have all of the classes in the
java.beans package, for various possible reasons (space, missing
capabilities in Dalvik, too much maintenance work, no demand, etc.). If
the third-party library needs classes in java.beans that are not in
Android, it will not work without modification.

With open source third-party libraries, all problems like this are
solvable, given sufficient time and Red Bull.
