Problems with multi-dex

I'm using the Maven-Android-Plugin to build my project which has a lot of dependencies and therefore I've to use the multi-dex option. This works using the methods described here. We'll kind of. In my project I'm havin multiple Services, each running in it's own process. So the dex-files are loaded multiple time.

And here comes the/my problem: Whoever starts up last (Service or Activity) crashs with an weird exception (if you're interested in I can post the logcat output). So my assumption is that the multiple loading fails because of file access to the optimzed dex-files, as my current workaround (adding the process-id to each directory for working/optimzed) let's me get beyond the crash.

Can anyone confirm this behavior or have a better workaround?

Logcat output can be found here. The "weird" errors start around line 800.

First of all I see here lots of DexOpt messages which is very strange. It looks like you are installing classes which are already bundled in Android. Second of all I see file path like app_optimized/classes2.dex/classes2.dex which is not good but probably works. It seems that dexes are loaded correctly by DexOpt so I would suggest to check those messages. I also not sure about loading same classes multiple times but did not check it.

It looks like dex files that were created are corrupt. Which version of android maven plugin are You using?
