problem with new android plugin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

there is problem with new android plugin. if you build your project in eclipse 
that has newest android plugin (v18), and then if you try it with apktool, it 
crashes

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. deploy your application
2. decompile it with apktool
3. try to compile again and it crashes

you should try it with v18 android plugin.

after my tries, I found the causes. 

causes is about annotation. eclipse adds some annotation class in apk even I 
dont create any new annotation. and if you try to compile again with that 
annonation classes, compiling crashes. 
for workaround, you can delete "smali\android\annotation" folder and you can 
compile again.

Is this a problem if you use smali/backsmali v1.4.0?

no i didnt try it. but now, I m using obfuscation. so , tool (proguard) removes 
annotation library. so it doesnt make problem to me

Sounds good. I'm gonna close this then, since I still have about 300 reports to 
go through.
