I seem to have chopped out a lot of context ;-)

As you wrote earlier, ActionBarSherlock is not a single jar library but
rather an "Android library project" which contains both code jar and
unpackaged resources.
Surprisingly we actually (claim to) support this kind of Android Library
project in our Java Binding Library project. We haven't tried
ActionBarSherlock, so I tried it and found some blocking issue.
The error was due to missing "R" class in the jar file. It turned out that
Android library project "pulls out" that class from the resulting jar, and
when we try to bind jar file, it does not exist after all (!).

There was a similar design issue (and expectation for the fix) in our
binding toolchain that it simply gives up when there was reference to any
"missing" Java type in the jars in the project and prevents some libraries
to bind. In case you are curious, see:

zon-in-app-purchases-td5710131.html

I "fixed" those missing R issue by ignoring anything that causes
NoClassDefFoundError, but there still seems another issue with related to
nine-patch resources. I'll continue fixing the issue to get it working.
