Android SDK Add-On hidden class

I need to export a hidden class through a SDK Add-On in Android Lollipop. I'm able to export non-hidden classes. After unsuccessfully trying the "usual way" I thought the problem was due to the @hide tag. So I decided to try the "dirty" way of getting rid of the @hide keyword responsible to hide the class (even if that would obviously break compatibility with the standard API). After removing the @hide keyword and building the class with #include(BUILD_JAVA_LIBRARY) in Android.mk, the Java library Jar file is empty. So I have two questions:

1. Why the Jar file is empty even if the DEX file includes the class?
2. How do I achieve the same result without removing the @hide keyword?

Thank you.
