I have an Android Project where I need to build multiple versions of the same application from the same sources.

To do this, I use the android plugin for Maven

Each version must be able to include ads from admob. So in my POM I added this dependancy 

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.admob.android</groupId>
   <artifactId>ads</artifactId>
   <version>20101109-ANDROID-3312276cc1406347</version>
   <scope>system</scope>
   <systemPath>THE_PATH\libs\admob-sdk-android.jar</systemPath>
 </dependency>

I don’t get any errors at build time but, when I execute the application I get this exception

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.admob.android.ads.AdView

So apparently the package is not properly included ?

    You can NOT use system scope for runtime required libraries. Deploy the jar into your local repository or your repository server (using e.g. mvn install:installFile ..) and remove scope and systemPath from the dependency declaration.

    Update: As of the latest releases my Maven Android SDK Deployer can do the install of the AdMob jar from the SDK into your local Maven repository or repository server for you.
