Bad class file magic when using dx.bat

dx

I need to build my Android application using the command line, when I get to the point that I must use dx.bat to convert to Dalvik bytecode

dx.bat --dex --output=C:/local_programs/testProject/bin/classes.dex C:/local_programs/testProject/bin/classes/test/Android/cmd/

This path "C:/local_programs/testProject/bin/classes/test/Android/cmd/" is where my .class are.

it gives me this error

no classfiles specified

My .class are generated as they should, and as far as I can tell, they're not corrupted.

I found several instance of this problem, but none of them fit my settings since I don't use build.xml (which I understand is a ant builder)

My questions is : Do I have a choice in using ant or not ?

Your classes need to be compiled with jdk 5 or 6. You are probably using 7. If that doesn't work, you might also need to make sure that every single class is compiled right, even if in different projects. Solved my problem here.
