Android-runtime: build failed while trying run NativeScript template package

[ProMasoud]

Please, provide the details below:

I installed nativescript according official website tutorial and run execute these

adb devices 
found 1 device 

tns platform add android
tns run android

I got 2 error in :compileF0DebugJavaWithJavac and searched for this issue. in most cases
this two line of code solved the problem but in my issue not worked

update nativescript then 

tns platform remove android
tns platform add android

Did you verify this is a real problem by searching Stack Overflow and the other open issues in this repo?

yes, I find out the most reason of this problem in out of date nativescript but my NS version is the latest version (3.1.3).

Did the error happen while the app was being constructed? (buildtime error)

Hey @ProMasoud what are the reproduction steps?

[Plamen5kov]

@ProMasoud your app is called native and this causes some kind of an issue. In order for you to continue, please try running tns create <app_name> with an <app_name> different from "native".
We'll investigate further.
_Edit_
native is a java keyword and can't be used in package names.

[petekanev]

According to the Java Specification, you cannot use reserved keywords in identifiers. And the package names are essentially such. - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.8

An identifier cannot have the same spelling (Unicode character sequence) as a keyword (§3.9), boolean literal (§3.10.3), or the null literal (§3.10.7), or a compile-time error occurs.
Two identifiers are the same only if they are identical, that is, have the same Unicode character for each letter or digit. Identifiers that have the same external appearance may yet be different.

Following is the list of all reserved keywords:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.9

    abstract   continue   for          new         switch
    assert     default    if           package     synchronized
    boolean    do         goto         private     this
    break      double     implements   protected   throw
    byte       else       import       public      throws
    case       enum       instanceof   return      transient
    catch      extends    int          short       try
    char       final      interface    static      void
    class      finally    long         strictfp    volatile
    const      float      native       super       while

Meaning the error you are seeing is not a bug in the runtime particularly, we could think of a way to restrict these being used, but that could mean potentially slow A) project creation time or B) project build time.
