Answer 1

What solved my problem on HelloWorld project in my ADT is :

1. I cleaned both the HelloWorld and the HelloWorld-cordovaLib.
2. Right clicked on HelloWorld-cordovaLib ->properties->Android and verified it the isLibrary is checked.
3. I right clicked on HelloWorld proj -> Properties ->Android -> The "is Library part" had Cordova with red check on it then I clicked on "Add" button and again added Cordova to the project which came with "green check" and then removed the red checked cordova.

Cleaned the projects and now its working fine.

Answer 3

I followed this guide to create a Cordova 3.3.0 project, import it into Eclipse, and successfully run it on a device from Eclispe: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.3.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Android%20Platform%20Guide

You are right that it imports "HelloWorld" and "HelloWorld-CordovaLibs". This is because of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5232, which makes Android now use the CordovaLib instead of the .jar for a variety of reasons (see the bug report.) You should import both projects into Eclipse (I'll change this in the documentation).

If you follow that guide you should be fine. You don't have to build a .jar anymore.

Answer 4

In short .... The ide ( either eclipse or ADT ) needed the initial build of the sub project to allow the HelloWorld project to 'see' the HelloWorld-cordovaLibs project.
