I am completely new to maven, but have looked around for solutions for this, but i come up empty. It is a project developed in IDEA (AFAIK) and it should work perfectly there, i just cant get IDEA to run neither :'-/ It javaocr svn link.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. This is how I solved it. In the pom.xml file, change

<artifactId>maven-android-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8.3</version>

for

<artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.4.1</version>

That solves it at least for me :)

Answer 2

Firstly, you're using an old version of the android-maven plugin. You should upgrade to the latest, 3.1.1:

http://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/

Secondly, please see section 3 of the instructions for installing the m2e-android plugin for m2e correctly:

http://rgladwell.github.com/m2e-android/

You can install m2e-android by opening your POM and clicking on the "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration" error. This will give you the option to Discover new m2e connectors.

Select this and you should be automatically prompted to download and install the Android Connector.
