I have a problem building an android maven project (eclipse m2e, android for maven).

The “install” goal resumes with:

[INFO] UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
[INFO] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: already added: Ljavax/persistence/Access;
[INFO]  at com.android.dx.dex.file.ClassDefsSection.add(ClassDefsSection.java:123)

I’ve added the following dependency to the project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.odata4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>odata4j-jersey</artifactId>
    <version>0.7.0</version>
</dependency>

This dependency adds also (among other things) javax.persistence-2.0.0.jar.

So I think the library is added twice? But how to solve this problem?
When I remove the dependency the project can be built without errors.

Here is the output of the command: maven dependency:tree

Am I doing something wrong? I’m still very new on maven.

Thanks!

    I got the solution:

    It seems that the two dependencies of odata4j:

    eclipselink-2.1.2
javax.persistence

    have some classes in common.

    So the problem is solved when either the one or the other dependency is excluded.

    Seems like this is really just an android/adt issue. Normally you do not need to exclude dependencies of a single artifact, do you?

    The dependency now looks like this:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.odata4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>odata4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.7.0</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
            <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

    Big thanks to Mite for the helpful hint.

    Regards,
    Alex
