Rejecting re-init on previously failed class error when loading a Class with dalvikvm

Question

I am trying to use Terminal IDE on Lollipop 5.1.1. Using a Samsung E7 device, a mod version of Terminal IDE is provided by someone on XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340852&page=7

I tried to use javac script in that mod but it gave an unsatisfied link error, saying that:

$ javac

It is strange that there is a UnsatisfiedLinkError , because it doesn't say that VM cannot find xyz.so library or cannot find xyz method. I tried using logcat command right after using Terminal IDE's javac script on Device, the odd thing I found from there is :

I/art     ( 6558) : rejecting re-init on previously-failed class java.lang.Class<org.apache.harmony.security.fortress.Services>

I couldn't understand why this happened, The javac script uses android's dalvikvm command to load

com.spartacusrex.spartacuside.external.javac

class. People have faced this rejecting re-init issue on sdk version 20+ but it's not clear to me why this info message uccurs and how to solve it.

Answer 1

I copied /system/lib/libjavacrypto.so to Terminal IDE's ~/system/lib folder and now javac and dx tools are working. It seems like Google messed up with things in /system/lib which resulted in errors. Answering so someone else might find it useful.
