             Summary: Unable to build Hello World application for Kindle Fire HDX tablet using PhoneGap 3.3.0
                 Key: CB-5744
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5744
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Amazon FireOS
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
         Environment: Mac OS 10.8.5
            Reporter: Jack Braidwood


I'm using PhoneGap 3.3.0 along with the Amazon WebView SDK to attempt to build a "Hello World" application for my Kindle Fire 7" HDX tablet.

I have the Android 4.4.2, 4.2.2, and 2.2 SDKs installed. I have been able to successfully build, install, and run several PhoneGap applications on my Nexus 7 Android tablet as well as the Android emulator.

However the "amazon-fireos" build always fails with an Unhandled 'error' event.

$ cordova create hello com.example.hello "HelloWorld"

It looks like someone was having a similar problem (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4403) on BlackBerry that ended up being an environment variable issue. There are only two jar files in the WebView SDK (awv_android_factory.jar and awv_interface.jar). I tried adding both the path to the jar files to the PATH variable and both jars to the CLASSPATH, but it didn't appear to have any effect.

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/jack/Downloads/awv_api
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/Users/jack/Downloads/awv_api/awv_interface.jar:/Users/jack/Downloads/awv_api/awv_android_factory.jar:.
