Question

I’m just switching my build process to use maven, I can’t find the dependency for AdMob on the maven repository site, how can I configure it manually?

Such as :

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
            <artifactId>android</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.1</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

Answer 1

An easy way to do this is to have the lib in your source tree and use this:

...
<dependency>
  <groupId>some_admob_groupid</groupId>
  <artifactId>admob</artifactId>
  <version>admob_version</version>
  <scope>system</scope>
  <systemPath>${basedir}/lib/admob.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
...

Of course you need to change the groupId, artifactId, version and systemPath to suit your needs but this approach lets you have a local .jar in your pom.xml as a dependency without installing it to your repository.
