I've created an android project based on android-release archetype (via mvn CLI). In order to import it to eclipse ADT (version 21) I tried:

The problem with this approach was that the created eclipse project was a Java project and didn't have an 'android' nature.

so I tried:

now I have 2 different problems:

the gen folder is not the one used by maven, and I have to add it as a source folder.
getting ClassNotFoundException for the unit test classes when running via eclipse. Maven has no problems at all.

is this how it supposed to work ? am I doing here something wrong, or I simply have too high expectations?

Ohh and forgot to mention the annoying "Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/hamcrest/Description" Error with the even more annoying workaround http://stackoverflow.com/a/14634575/20065 – Yonatan Maman Mar 30 '13 at 20:45

Do not use maven-eclipse-plugin as it doesn't know how to generate project files for Android project properly. Use `File -> Import ... -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects`import the mavenized Android project. Make sure you have m2e and m2e-android Eclipse plugins installed. – yorkw Mar 30 '13 at 21:56
