Thanks Lance, unfortunatelly this has passed to another problem. I did something similar to what you describe and at the moment the build is SUCCESSFULL, which we can be happy. But now we have another problem which makes us sad again. The problem is that when I install the apk file in the phone the phone shows me a popUp with the message saying that the application cannot be installed. For some reason, some times, the file classes.dex, is not included in the apk file generated even when the dex / file attribute is set, and this file is added the package does not work. Im really new at ant Tasks and stuff, let me know if there is another documentation other than the ant_rules that I can read, like android SDK tools revision 7 release notes. Thanks for all your help and please excuse my english. Claudio
