I am trying to get setup to use Maven and pom.xml files in Eclipse for my Android projects. I have Eclipse Indigo setup (m2e included), Android SDK installed, ADT installed. I am struggling to understand what it means to "Install the m2e-android-plugin" (I am always taken to this page which provides instructions on installing it, but which I cannot follow) Specifically, when I go through the instruction on that page, after I complete all the steps in part 2, my structure does not have "Maven Dependencies" and my pom.xml file shows the following error:
Project build error: Unresolveable build extension: Plugin
com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2:android-maven-plugin:3.1.1 or one of its dependencies could
not be resolved: The following artifacts could not be resolved:
