The output jar is empty. Did you specify the proper '-keep' options?


I am trying to build a release APK file from ant and this is what i m getting in my console

D:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk_r18-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\build.xml:595: The following error occurred while executing this line:D:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk_r18windows\android-sdk-windows\tools\ant\build.xml:864: The output jar is empty. Did you specify the proper '-keep' options?

What is this error and how can i resolve it..M using the latest SDK(API-17) with Revision 21.1 All java_home,Ant_home are set
