Answer 1

Open your POM and click on the "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration" error. This will give you the option to Discover new m2e connectors.

Select this and you should be automatically prompted to download and install the Android Connector.

Installing this should resolve your problems. You should probably uninstall the old 0.2.4 m2eclipse-android-integration as well in favour of the new 0.3.0 m2e-android version.

Please see the new site for more information:
