android - Cant find maven dependency for Google APIs to use maps

Question

I'm trying to use maven to manage my dependencies and build process. I have a problem to find the Google API dependency or the maps dependency. This works fine (without maps api):

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
    <artifactId>android</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.1.2</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

AFAIK, map jar files are not available in any online maven repository at the moment.

Either use Android SDK Manager download the required map jar file then manually install it to you local maven repository:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=your-artifact-1.0.jar 
    [-DgroupId=org.some.group] 
    [-DartifactId=your-artifact] 
    [-Dversion=1.0] 
    [-Dpackaging=jar]

Or use Manfred's maven-android-sdk-deployer install all Android SDK jar files to your local maven repository.

Then you can start using it in pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.android.maps</groupId>
    <artifactId>maps</artifactId>
    <version>4_r2</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
