Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/maven/artifact/Artifact

Question

I have an Android project with Robolectric.

My application related classes are placed in src/main/java and test related classes in src/test/java.

I have these test dependencies in my pom.xml

 <dependency> <groupId>org.robolectric</groupId> <artifactId>robolectric</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>

When building and deploying from console with mvn package android:deploy everything is ok. Problem occurs when launching project from Eclipse (Juno).

[2013-03-24 12:27:26 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/maven/artifact/Artifact; [2013-03-24 12:27:26 - my-app] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/maven/artifact/Artifact;

It appears that dependencies that are required for Robolectric only are included. What am I doing wrong?

That is not the case. bin/dexedLibs contains ALL dependencies. Even these that are required for testing. Such as maven-project, maven-profile, wagon-file and so on. How do I keep them out of there?

After some investigation it appears to be a m2e-android related issue

I once encountered same error. At the end, I found it is caused by including MoPubView's jar twice:

- On the one hand, I imported the MoPubView project via Eclipse Menu function "File | Import"; -> then right click my project, select "Properties"; -> In the left bar, select "android"; -> In the "Library" section at the right, press [Add] button... - On the other hand, I copied the mopub-sdk.jar to the /libs folder of my project.

I deleted the latter. It is solved.
