I am trying an Android project using OpenSAML using Eclipse. I have added all the required jar files in the build path. Now, when I run the program as an Android Application the following error shows up:

[2012-11-18 11:52:59 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Cannot merge new index 67075 into a non-jumbo instruction!
[2012-11-18 11:52:59 - MyTestProgram] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Cannot merge new index 67075 into a non-jumbo instruction!

I googled a bit, but nothing came up. What could this error mean?

One solution that I found that got it working for me was to add dex.force.jumbo=true to my project.properties.

This is assuming you are running ADT 21 as this feature wasn't available in previous versions.
