Thanks to some great pull requests and some cleanup and testing on my side the Maven Android SDK Deployer is now available in version 1.3 and support the latest Android version 4.1 (platform 16), Google Cloud Messaging library for client and server usage as well as generation of javadoc artifacts for the android jars. Pretty awesome right!

Apache Maven at AnDevCon II
With a sore throat I braved through the presentation about taking advantage of Apache Maven for your Android application development builds today in front of 40 or so people. I have the impression that the interactive session with demos was well received, but will find out more later. In any case for those of you who missed it the slides are now online for your pleasure. One of the main take aways for me was that we need to ref the plugin version to be at least beta or even better 3.0.0 final and then iterate and improve after because people have this perception that alpha means not stable… why do they think that 😉 The alphas of the Android Maven Plugin are rock solid and I have been using the in production for months..

In the spotlight
Having worked with Apache Maven since the Maven 1 days, committing on various open source projects around Maven and Maven usage, using Nexus and Hudson and finally writing the Android chapter of Maven: The Complete Reference, got me into working with the great people at Sonatype. And now they put me into the spotlight. It has been great working with Tim, Jason, Emily, Brian, Juven and all the others and I am looking forward to many more great projects we do together in the future.
Thanks!

Android Open Source Development Tools at OSCON 2011
I am at OSCON Java 2011 and just finished presenting about Android open source development tools covering the supplied default tools in the SDK and going way beyond covering libraries and tools for all sorts of aspects of Android application development. With just under 30 people in the audience I went through a whirlwind tour of Android IDE’s, development tools, suitable Java and Android libraries and a lot more.
The slides are available for download (smaller file) and should give you great resource to dig deeper since all links are right there and active. Following up on just a few of the ideas will hopefully make you a more productive Android developer and inspire you to participate and join open source Android activities.
Enjoy and let me know if they are useful for you

Update: Added a short version of the presentation that removes the slides for the transitions as requested by @shawnlauzon
