For those following this Android sneaked in an instruction that to
even use Proguard in Eclipse you need to modify the default.properties
file with the proguard.config=proguard.cfg (or wherever it is). This
however did not solve the problem. They also state elsewhere that you
need ant 1.8 or better (Ubuntu 10.04 comes with 1.7.1). Now that may
be the source of the parsing problem as soon as I figure out how this
apache-ant 1.8.1 install works. So far by instructions given it
isn't. Big problem with open source development is good developers
lousy docs. IT people probably shake their heads but we programmers
don't do these things everyday so concise and clear docs are
necessary. Development isn't supposed to be an adventure game.
I would also like to see centralized upgrade info for Android
development rather having to do a scavenger hunt for what has changed
in the development environment. Next time I'll wait for revision 2 or
higher.
