Xalan.jar error when build in android project

Question

I use xalan.jar in my android project. When i build project -> error (i have select in properties/java build path/Order and Export/xalan.jar). (if not select xalan.jar in "Order and Export/xalan.jar" project build ok.)

Detail error in Console:

[2013-12-30 15:20:28 - SignAndroid] Dx warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class
(org.apache.xml.serializer.CharInfo$1) that doesn't come with an
associated EnclosingMethod attribute. This class was probably produced by a
compiler that did not target the modern .class file format. The recommended
solution is to recompile the class from source, using an up-to-date compiler
and without specifying any "-target" type options. The consequence of ignoring
this warning is that reflective operations on this class will incorrectly
indicate that it is *not* an inner class.

I know it very late but if you havent got any fix, here is the solution which is working for me. I was using xalan 2.7.1 jar and i upgraded it to 2.7.2 which can be downloaded from here:

http://psg.mtu.edu/pub/apache/xalan/xalan-j/binaries/

Also, replace your "serializer.jar" with the serializer jar which comes with xalan-2.7.2. After that just do clean your project and run it.
