No, that's my problem. The dx portion of the SDK is extremely unhelpful. There are no details at all in the error message. The Eclipse Console view notifies me of the dalvik conversion error 2 but it gives no useful information, such as the class file it is converting or a description of the error. The Error view is similarly empty. I don't want to sound blameful, but this is a horrible way to implement the dalvik converter. It makes no effort at all to show me what's wrong, so it leaves me completely helpless to do anything about it.
How do I run dx directly? I know it shows a simple list of commands if I run it without a command, but that's just syntactic instruction. I always get errors from it about paths not matching. I tried running it from various parent directories but ultimately I can't get it to work. I want to try it on the command line and see if it prints more information than it does through Eclipse. Bottom line, once Eclipse has compiled a bunch class files from java source, how do I go in and run dx on those class files? Thanks.
