With 2.0, we have the error reporting working better so that you can see the
actual error:

The "GenerateJavaStubs" task failed unexpectedly.
 System.InvalidOperationException: The Name property must be a fully qualified
'package.TypeName' value, and no package was found for 'CustomApplication'.

The problem is that we build the package name using Namespace.ApplicationName,
and you don't have this in a namespace.  The workaround is to put the
CustomApplication inside a namespace.

As to fixing the bug, I don't know if there is something we can do
automatically like grab the DefaultNamespace, or we just need to add a better
error message explaining that a namespace is required.
