Question

I’m developing an Android application and I’m trying to add a dependency to my pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.simpleframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>simple-xml</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.7</version>
    </dependency>

I’m not even using it anywhere, but after I add that dependency, when I try to run the application, I get an error:

 Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1


 Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*)
 when not building a core library.

Why can’t I run it?

Answer 1

Try excluding both stax, stax-api and xpp3 from the simple import as explained here:
