title: Can't build and run an android test project created using "ant create test-project" when tested project has jars in libs directory
body: <p>I have a module that builds an app called MyApp.  I have another that builds some testcases for that app, called MyAppTests.  They both build their own APKs, and they both work fine from within my IDE.  I'd like to build them using ant so that I can take advantage of continuous integration.</p>
  
  <p>Building the app module works fine.  I'm having difficulty getting the Test module to compile and run.</p>
  
  <p>Using Christopher's tip from a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2466437/how-to-build-an-android-test-app-with-a-dependency-on-another-app-using-ant">previous question</a>, I used <code>android create test-project -p MyAppTests -m ../MyApp -n MyAppTests</code> to create the necessary build files to build and run my test project.  This seems to work great (once I remove an unnecessary test case that it constructed for me and revert my AndroidManifest.xml to the one I was using before it got replaced by <code>android create</code>), but I have two problems.</p>
  
  <p>The first problem: The project doesn't compile because it's missing libraries.</p>

  <p>That's not a hard problem to solve.  I'm not sure it's the right thing to do, but I copied the missing libraries (roboguice and gson) from the MyApp/libs directory to the MyAppTests/libs directory and everything seems to compile fine.</p>
  
  <p>But that leads to the second problem, which I'm currently stuck on.  The tests compile fine but they won't run:</p>
