I am building an Android project with Eclipse and maven plugins. When I build it I get the error as following 27/1/12 2:34:02 PM IST: Build errors for ProjectName; org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:maven-android-plugin:2.2.1:generate-sources (default-generate-sources) on project ProjectName: Execution default-generate-sources of goal com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:maven-android-plugin:2.2.1:generate-sources failed: Please provide a proper Android SDK directory path as configuration parameter ... in the plugin . As an alternative, you may add the parameter to commandline: -Dandroid.sdk.path=... or by setting environment variable ANDROID_HOME Even if I have set the ANDROID_HOME and path in ... asked Jan 27 '12 at 9:37

Besides ANDROID_HOME environment variable, you also need add $ANDROID_HOME/tools and $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools to your PATH environment variable: Maven 3.0.3+ installed, see http://maven.apache.org/download.html Set environment variable ANDROID_HOME to the path of your installed Android SDK and add $ANDROID_HOME/tools as well as $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools to your $PATH. (or on Windows %ANDROID_HOME%\tools and %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools). MacOS users: Note that for the path to work on the commandline and in IDE's started by launchd you have to set it in /etc/launchd.conf and NOT in .bashrc or something else Check out the Getting Started page on android maven plugin website here. Hope this help. answered Jan 27 '12 at 12:17

You also need to set the path location of the Android SDK in Eclispe as well, otherwise the m2e-android build will fail: Go to Window -> Preferences and select Android. Click on the Browse... button next to the SDK Location text box and select the location of you locally installed Android SDK. Click Apply and then OK and your build should now work. answered Jan 30 '12 at 12:36 Ricardo Gladwell 1,6361020
