Android and Maven

    Hi Guys,

    So i've been looking into build automation for Android. I decided to give Maven a go as it handles dependencies too.

    The whole exercise turned out to be a bit of a nightmare and now i'm left with a single question?

    What's the story with Google and Maven?

    The reason I ask is because during my migration I noticed only certain Google jars were hosted in the Maven central repository. I had to install some of them into my local repo. e.g. Support library v13 and Maps. Oh and not to mention the fact I had to use the Maven Android deployer to install Android jars to my local repo.

    I know Google provides support for Ant. I'm wondering why they don't provide similar support for Maven? I have tried the Maven Android plugin but i've had a lot of issues with it.

    Is there a gap in the market for a community run Maven Android repository?

    Has anybody else tried to use Maven for Android
