Category: Android Maven Plugin

After the main Android Maven Plugin, it was time for a new release of the NDK counter part. So here you have it. I cut a new release with a bunch of fixes and improvements and a lot of project cleanup. So without further ado – the Android Maven Plugin team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.1.0 of the plugin.

It has been a while since the last release of the Android Maven Plugin, and things like holidays and setting up a new computer got into the way. But now I am all up and running on a Kubuntu VM for my development. So much better than using OSX! I am glad to be back in Linux land for all my development. Even if it is on a VM running on a OSX. Thanks to Oracle and VirtualBox that is possible. And there were a LOT of contributions since the 4.3.0 release and I ran into some trouble with 4.4.0 so here you have the changelog for the shiny, new 4.4.1 release.

I can’t believe how time flies. The Android Maven Plugin’s first commits happened in 2008 shortly after the Android Beta release. My first commits are from October 2009. That was when Android 1.6 was new and shiny. Since then a lot has happened in the Android ecosystem and everyone, including your grandma, knows about Android. For the Android Maven Plugin and my involvement the same applies and now it is time to celebrate our 4.0.0 release.

I just uploaded Android Lint to the Central Repository recently as part of my work on the Android4Maven project and now my good friend and conspirator Jake Wharton and myself have done the groundwork to get the compatibility/support library V4 in revision 6 there as well. It should be there right now and you can use it in your project with

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
  <artifactId>support-v4</artifactId>
  <version>r6</version>
</dependency>

This should help projects like ActionBarSherlock, Roboguice and others getting cleanly into the Central Repository too. if you want to see a working example just take a look at the pom file of the support4demos app in the samples for the Android Maven Plugin.

Enjoy,

PS: v13 should follow when some requirements to build it (ICS-MR2) are in central..

Ever since the Android Lint tool was released by Xavier, Tor and the rest of the great team at the Android Tools project, I thought this would be really great to have as a goal for the Android Maven Plugin. Since I am core committer and merge master of the plugin and implemented a bunch of goals already I had that side covered. Now I just needed to make the Android Lint tool available for the plugin.
