I am trying to build an android project with maven, but maven doesn't like the Qname class:

This problem only started occurring when I brought in a separate apklib file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>cocos2d_android</groupId>
        <artifactId>cocos2d_android</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>apklib</type>
    </dependency>

It appears the QName class only appears in my dependencies in the xpp3 jarfile which, as far as I can tell, only appears in this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
    <artifactId>android</artifactId>
    <version>${android-version}</version>
</dependency>

I tried using the exclusion tag to get Maven to play nice with it, but the xmlpullparser class is being used in code in my project so I get a class not found error when I exclude it.

For completeness, here's my full dependency list:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>android</artifactId>
        <version>${android-version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-jaxrs</artifactId>
        <version>${jacksonVersion}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-android-rest-template</artifactId>
        <version>${spring-android-version}</version>
    </dependency>
     <dependency>
        <groupId>com.codeslap</groupId>
        <artifactId>android-facebook</artifactId>
        <version>1.5</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>cocos2d_android</groupId>
        <artifactId>cocos2d_android</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <type>apklib</type>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
     <groupId>org.twitter4j</groupId>
     <artifactId>twitter4j-core</artifactId>
     <version>[2.2,)</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I've seen other questions talking about this being imported in other google data apis, but obviously I'm not using those here - can someone explain why Maven is complaining about this class that's only part of the main google android apis?

• android
• eclipse
• maven

In case you reference com.google.android:android as dependency, do not forget to set provided scope - otherwise plugin will try to pack it into resulting apk

You cannot build Android applications that import JAR files that use java.* or javax.* packages. The cocos2d_android dependency either contains a copy of this class or includes a transitive dependency that does. You might need to exclude the javax.xml.namespace.QName class using a Maven dependency exclusion.
