I installed the ADT plugin for eclipse smoothly. When I created my first Android project, right off the bat, I got the compile error below. I found that the sun/security/x509/X500Name is in the rt.jar so I tried adding that to my build path, but this causes the project to eat a lot of memory while compiling (I find this unusual). Has anyone been able to solve this issue? I'm using jdk1.6.0_24. I've seen other vague posts out there saying I need to use the Sun JDK. I'm already using that and I already have that in my JAVA_HOME. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/security/x509/X500Name

The not found class is used by SignedJarBuilder of the Android SDK. A solution could be not to use the signing of Android SDK, but to sign the created .apk separately, by the jarsigner command.

I did the signing using Maven - http://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/wiki/SigningAPKWithMavenJarsigner.

You can specify the debug signing in the following way:

   <keystore>
    ${user.home}${file.separator}.android${file.separator}debug.keystore
   </keystore>
   <storepass>android</storepass>
   <keypass>android</keypass>
   <alias>androiddebugkey</alias>

I installed a stand-alone Eclipse 3.6 IDE (Helios) and it worked like a charm. Based on this, I've come to the conclusion that this will never work with IBM's RSA 8.0.1 (Even though it is based on Eclipse 3.6).
