    Description

      Looking at the README of the Android LIB project (https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android)

      I read the following Prerequisites:

      • Java 6.0 (Java SDK 1.6)+
      • Maven 3+
      • Git
      • Android SDK
      • Need to have an AVD image running 2.3.3 (API level 10)
      • You may use any IDE that supports Maven, but this guide currently focuses on the command line.

      Later it asks me to clone the 'maven-android-sdk-deployer' and run mvn install -P 4.1 inside of the cloned repo; I has a node that 4.1 needs to be installed....

      => Should we add the Android 4.1.2 (API Level 16) underneath the Prerequisites? I only installed API-Level-10, and got an error that API-Level-16 is missing. This is confusing, but the fix is easy.

      After installing the Android 4.1.2 (API Level 16), I got a new error when running the mvn install -P 4.1 command:

      [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:properties-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-2:read-project-properties (default) on project analytics: Properties file not found: /Users/matzew/Android-DEV/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219/sdk/extras/google/analytics_sdk_v2/source.properties -> [Help 1]
      

      Again, getting beyond this is not hard, but a bit confusing... that Google Analytics is (somewhat) required.... OK, going to the Android SDK Manager and installing the 'Google Analytics App Tracking SDK' allows me to continue (with mvn install -P 4.1)

      Next error:

      [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.4:install-file (default) on project analytics: The specified file '/Users/matzew/Android-DEV/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130219/sdk/extras/google/analytics_sdk_v2/libGoogleAnalytics.jar' not exists -> [Help 1]
      

      Now, I am stuck here
