title: How can I add an apklib dependency to your android maven project?
body: <p>I have an android project which I am developing on eclipse and building with maven. I wanted to include a lib (apklib) in it, and similarly to other includes, I have tried appending the dependency to my pom in the following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;groupID.name&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;artifact.name&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;version&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when trying to build it either from m2eclipse or from maven on the console, I would get an error </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>(Failed to execute goal on project <strong>projectName</strong>: Could not resolve
    dependencies for project <strong>project</strong> Failure to find <strong>apklib</strong> in
    <strong>repo</strong> was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of <strong>repo</strong> has elapsed or
    updates are forced)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>saying that this dependency could not be found even if I can see the dependency in my .m2 directory     </p>
