Xamarin Android Lint checks fail on Windows when ran against a very simple app #1374
Description
Lint checks are failing on Windows for a very simple application. These failures do not appear to be new to this specific environment, I am able to reproduce using d15-6 as well.
Steps to Reproduce
- msbuild /t:PackageForAndroid /p:AndroidLintEnabled=true HelloWorld\HelloWorld.csproj
https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/tree/master/HelloWorld
Expected Behavior
No warnings or errors are reported when building a simple app with lint checks enabled.
Actual Behavior
Multiple warnings and errors are reported when building a simple app with lint checks enabled.
I am warned that I have some unused resources (however to the best of my knowledge the single layout file and string resources are being used). There are also some new errors that manifest:

4 Warning(s)
2 Error(s)
I have noticed that running lint.bat --version fails to produce version output as well, perhaps something is wrong with tool version?
