Hi Oscar,

I was indeed using the sca modules not from the sandbox. As you suggested, I
removed the tuscany-contribution-impl from my workspace and added the
version you uploaded to the sandbox. Then, I uncommented the lines in

org.apache.tuscany.sca.implementation.java.module.JavaRuntimeModuleActivator

following the comments pointing out why those lines had been commented. I'm
no longer getting the ClassNotFoundException. However, it's getting stuck
somewhere else (before getting there I guess)...I think this is the case
because before and after commenting the code I get the same error in the
Android emulator, an InstantiationException [1].

Have you debugged to check exactly where this exception is being thrown? I
have done the procedure I previously described  again and I got it "running"
as expected, which means, running till the expected exception is thrown.

I also started tinkering with retrotranslator. First I tried doing it with
Ant, but it seems that in order to build I have to include the whole tuscany
projects in a way similar to how I now have in Eclipse. I also tried making
a jar out of

org.apache.tuscany.sca.implementation.java.module.JavaRuntimeModuleActivator

and then feeding it to retrotranslator but unfortunately it's not
translating anything, as shown below.

Voyager-2:Retrotranslator-1.2.6-bin ocastaneda$ java -jar
retrotranslator-transformer-1.2.6.jar -srcjar JavaRuntimeModuleActivator.jar
-target 1.5 -reflection safe -stripannot -classpath
retrotranslator-android-1.2.6.jar
Processing 136 file(s) in JavaRuntimeModuleActivator.jar.
Transformed 0 file(s).

There's also a maven plugin, so I might try that...but first I'll give Ant
another go. Hopefully Google will release a new SDK soon, otherwise as you
say...retrotranslator will have to be the workaround to proceed with our
project ;-)

Unfortunately the rumors say the new SDK version will not be released until
july 28th :S. So, it's really good you have already started working on the
retrotranslator, it will probably be the best workaround for the annotations
problem till the next SDK release.

I suggest you to forget about the build process right now, before, check if
this retrotranslator works and if it really works on android platform. I´m
really getting upset with Android, even its API methods does not work as
expected :@. Anyway, try initially to compile a simple class (coded by you),
which contains annotations, and access these annotations. If it works, make
it more complex and test again, do it until you reach a scenario as complex
as the SCA (a lot of external jars with annotated classes accessed by the
other external jars and the Android app). Got it? : )

Regards,
Adriano Crestani
