Failed to execute goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2

Question

I have an Android project that uses Maven.

It works with my old computer running Windows XP. but now in my other computer I get this error when running maven:

Failed to execute goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.6.0:generate-sources (default-generate-sources) on project my-android-application: Execution default-generate-sources of goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.6.0:generate-sources failed: A required class was missing while executing com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.6.0:generate-sources: Lorg/sonatype/aether/RepositorySystem;

I am running Windows 7 32-bit.

C:\Checkouts\Project\Src\Android\BuildResources>mvn -version

Answer 1

Found the solution. I used apache-maven-3.0.5 instead of 3.1.0.

Android Maven Plugin is not compatible with Maven 3.1

Answer 2

You can use 3.8.0 of android-maven-plugin and continue with maven 3.1.1. It solves this.
