I’m trying to compile and run the task-android-sample code from Google’s API website. I couldn’t get it to work with Maven so I ended up downloading all the jar files. Below are the steps I did:

1) Import the downloaded task-android-sample project into Eclipse

2) Add google-api-java-client-1.4.1-beta.zip jar files to my project (Build path, add external jars)

3) Download Task API jar file and import to my project:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/APIs#Tasks_API

4) Check off all the import jar files in the Order/Export section of Build Path

5) Clean Project

6) Run Project.

I get the following errors:
– ClientCredentials cannot be resolved into a variable
– The import com.google.api.services.samples.shared cannot be resolved.

I searched in the Google API website and couldn’t find where to download the file from. I did a Google search and couldn’t find a jar file that would contain the class. Can someone help me to solve this dependency issue?

UPDATE: 9/20/11 **
I followed the instructions specified here:
http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/tasks-android-sample/instructions.html

The “mvn sources:jar install” command does not give me any error, but when I run “mvn compile” I get the following errors:

I already verify my maven installation as per Apache’s instructions, so not sure why I can’t still compile this properly.
