I'm in Linux Mint and I can compile VLC using make -e or compile.sh way.
However I was interesting in help us in the VLC UI, but when I open the project in eclipse I see the following error.

I'm searching about this error and it say that until AAPT v5 the style name might include a dot, anyone know how resolve this problem?
