Build error: MainActivity.java:20: error: <identifier> expected package game.for.lina;

See original GitHub issue

I created a new tabrisjs project and got it validated on tabrisjs.com, but when I try to build it, I get the following error. Why do I get the error during build?

I paste the config.xml, package,json and the build log file below

###### config.xml

Ok, found it. It seems that id="game.for.lina" will be used to generate some Java classes. The for keyword is not allowed in package names in Java. So, just change your id and remove for and everything is working. Will close this issue.
