Maven Import AAR Classes.jar

Question

I'm using Intellij Idea. I'm trying to import couch-lite into my project using Maven.

My pom file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

<groupId>*</groupId>
<artifactId>*</artifactId>
<version>0.1.0</version>

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>com.couchbase.lite</id>
        <name>couchbase-lite</name>
        <url>http://files.couchbase.com/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.couchbase.lite</groupId>
        <artifactId>couchbase-lite-android</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <type>aar</type>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

The result:

As you can see, I can't access the classes.jar of the aar library. Does anyone have any idea how I can reference the files in that jar?

Answer 1

I'm now using Gradle to build the project. The build times are much longer, but all the libraries are being loaded correctly.
