java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljavax/naming/ldap/LdapName

I have implemented ProGuard to cut off unnecessary codes. But after the app starts, I am getting the following error -

What should I do now? Does it something to do with my library?

Android’s documentation for ProGuard describes it like so:
“The ProGuard tool shrinks, optimizes, and obfuscates your code by removing unused code and renaming classes, fields, and methods with semantically obscure names. The result is a smaller sized .apk file that is more difficult to reverse engineer…. Having ProGuard run is completely optional, but highly recommended.”
Now adding proguard can cause problems if your app contain third party libraries, broadcast receivers, custom widgets etc.. so you need to add proguard rules to add this classes in runtime otherwise the classes will not compile in APK version and you will get errors
For details about proguard and it's usage see this link:http://omgitsmgp.com/2013/09/09/a-conservative-guide-to-proguard-for-android/
there is a standard proguard rules form which you can use:
# Add any project specific keep options here:
# If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
# and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
# class:
#-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
# public *;
#}
# Obfuscation parameters:
#-dontobfuscate
-useuniqueclassmembernames
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable
-allowaccessmodification
# Ignore warnings:

Android - Signed apk not run in mobile device

I am facing very strange problem. When I directly copy APK from bin folder of project and paste in mobile phone SD card. And install it, it working fine. While I do same with export signed APK from Android Tool in project and placed APK in SD card. It install successfully but not run. I do not know why this is happen. I also you progaurad in app. Is it cause of crashing app??
Here is logcat output

Please help and Thanks in Advance.

I think you are using wrong proguard. This type of problem comes when something wrong with progurad. Try to replace your project.properties with this code-
here is link - Progurad Code
Hope this will help you.

add this code to proguard.txt
if you are using v4
# support-v4
-dontwarn android.support.v4.**
-keep class android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep interface android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep class android.support.v4.** { *; }
if you are using v7
# support-v7
-dontwarn android.support.v7.**
-keep class android.support.v7.internal.** { *; }
-keep interface android.support.v7.internal.** { *; }
-keep class android.support.v7.** { *; }

Ok after having reading proguard manual, and having numerous hit and trials I finally did it by modifying last line of above prguard file to
-keepattributes Annotation, InnerClasses, Signature
and every thing works fine
from proguard
Specifies the generic signature of the class, field, or method. Compilers may need this information to properly compile classes that use generic types from compiled libraries. Code may access this signature by reflection.
and issue is of reflection

proguard is corrupting ie touching classes/interfaces in the Cling lib and you need to prevent that...
you could start here assuming you have a problem with Proguard touching some networking related in the Jetty/Http stack i guess from the content of your error. Wild guess is that its as if the http entity or body cant be handled as implementing the proper interfaces... You want to config proguard to avoid all interfaces in that library and you dont have any "keep interface" directives in your proguard...
For example, are you telling proguard not to touch any of the interfaces in 'org.eclipse.jetty' . You are not doing that and you might want to .
see here
scan proguard manuals for -keepinterface to use with jetty packages implementing the server/http connections in your lib.
know more about the 'cling' packages/interfaces around the internal Client-server and internal networking stack implementations in your library ( looks like it implements jetty for C-S connections on some protocol like http )
build a packages list on the lib's jar/archive to compare to your proguard config. pay special attention to interfaces being used by jetty's server implementation "jar -tf my.jar | sort | uniq" or some such
look at whats been obfuscated by proguard in 'mapping.txt' and in 'seeds.txt' explain here. intersect those packages names from those respective lists with packages & lists assembled above that you did NOT want proguard to mess with. 'seeds' should contain your jetty classes/interfaces. 'mapping' should NOT!

Maybe you could try to add -keepclassmembers in addition to -keep class for package org.fourthline.cling as this:
-keep class org.fourthline.cling.** { *;}
-keepclassmembers class org.fourthline.cling.** { *;}

Some of my library, are directly imported from Java SE (Contains JApplet for example)
How I can exclude them from proguard? Note, I have pinyin4j-2.5.0.jar library in -libraryjars. I thought that's the way to tell proguard, "Hey, this is a library. Don't do anything on it, OK?" But, seems like proguard still trying to process pinyin4j-2.5.0.jar
I'm getting the following errors.

Some of you may comment that for library jars which contain Java SE only methods (like Applet, Swing, ...) cannot be used in Android. Nope. In fact, they run perfectly fine, as long as you consume their non-Java SE-only methods.
The full error log can be downloaded from here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/dns62f7gp6unusg/error-log.txt

If you are sure that these Java SE classes are not used, you can indeed ignore the warnings (as you have found in your own answer). An easier way to specify this:
-dontwarn java.beans.**
-dontwarn java.awt.**
-dontwarn javax.swing.**

It seems that your line

Update
But since the needed classes do not exist on android, you have to ignore these warnings.
But do not generally ignore obfuscation warnings, we had a serious bug (using an obfuscation.map in file), because we ignored all warnings.

I merely avoid the error by

It doesn't work completely out of box yet as I still experience crash in "after proguard generated" APK.
Is pretty hard for me to find out why it crashes, as the code is obfuscate.
If I specific dontobfuscate, I will get another set of problem during generation. A message "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1" pop up without additional information. But, that's another set of different problem.

When using Proguard, do you need a separate config for each referenced library?

My application has references to HoloEverywhere and SherlockActionBar, both which are in-workspace projects. When I enabled Proguard for the application only, it crashes giving these errors:
11-15 11:50:11.090: E/AndroidRuntime(24823): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: <init> [class android.app.Activity, int]
11-15 11:50:11.090: E/AndroidRuntime(24823): at com.actionbarsherlock.a.a(Unknown Source)
11-15 11:50:11.090: E/AndroidRuntime(24823): at org.holoeverywhere.a.a.l(Unknown Source)
11-15 11:50:11.090: E/AndroidRuntime(24823): at org.holoeverywhere.a.a.setContentView(Unknown Source)
Is this because I only enabled Proguard for the app and not the other in-workspace projects HE and ABS?
I am using the default proguard-project.txt in the sdk and did not add any additional rules.

No you do not.
Use these rules to keep the referenced classes un-obfuscated.
-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** {*;}
-keep class org.holoeverywhere.** {*;}

this also will help
## ActionBarSherlock 4.4.0 specific rules ##
-keep class android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep interface android.support.v4.app.** { *; }
-keep class com.actionbarsherlock.** { *; }
