Started working on an Android version of an existing security tool.  After setting up the basic screens, I started importing some of the existing Java code.  I expected some issues, of course, but I ran into a maddening one.  Eclipse started complaining of this:

[2010-01-14 22:41:43 - MyApp]
trouble writing output: null
[2010-01-14 22:41:43 - MyApp]Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 2

Trying to Run or Debug would bomb with messages like:

[2010-01-14 22:45:21 - MyApp]Android Launch!
[2010-01-14 22:45:21 - MyApp]adb is running normally.
[2010-01-14 22:45:21 - MyApp]Performing com.wikidsystems.android.WiKID activity launch

[2010-01-14 22:45:21 - MyApp]Launch canceled!

Sometimes it would just say

[2010-01-14 22:48:21 - MyApp]Android Launch!
[2010-01-14 22:48:21 - MyApp]adb is running normally.
[2010-01-14 22:48:21 - MyApp]Unable to locate MyApp.apk!

Googling only turned up various (mostly 2008 or early 2009) posts about Linux folks who had gcj installed, or suggestions to just Project->Clean, or Delete and Re-import.  None of those worked.  So I tried creating a new project, and pulled things over.  As soon as I pulled in a Base64 class (downloaded from SourceForge), the errors started again.  Removing the class cleared it up again.  

I guess the class is using some Java constructs that aren't compatible with Android's environment?  I wish it would indicate which rather than bombing out.  I'll start looking for either (a) fixes, or (b) a new Base64 routine that is compatible.  The Android docs refer to a util package that contains Base64 en/de-coders, but I can't find actual classes

Throw me any suggestions if you've found them.
