Output:
trouble processing "javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilder.class":
Ill-advised or mistaken usage of a core class (java.* or javax.*)
when not building a core library.
This is often due to inadvertently including a core library file
in your application's project, when using an IDE (such as
Eclipse). If you are sure you're not intentionally defining a
core class, then this is the most likely explanation of what's
going on.
However, you might actually be trying to define a class in a core
namespace, the source of which you may have taken, for example,
from a non-Android virtual machine project. This will most
assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the
compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform.
It is also often of questionable legality.
For people using Android Studio doing non-ros builds (i.e. just using the maven repo), they get errors stating the xml-apis library is causing problems by using a standard javax namespace.
See this question and this one (which includes a workaround) also on ros answers.
