Maven: Cannot resolve property in pom.xml

I just started converting my Android Project into Maven.
I'm trying to use properties in my pom.xml but I'm getting the error:

Dependency com.google.android:android${android.version} not found

I'm also getting the same errors for the other properties except for ${junit.version}.
Below is my pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I recommend to create a android maven project with androidKickstartR (http://androidkickstartr.com/) and coppy the pom.xml to your own project where you can edit it to your needs.

When ready build the project with:

mvn clean install android:deploy

It fetched the dependencies just fine for me. I suggest checking a few things:

  • Run mvn -X compile to get more information about which mirrors are being used
  • Check your maven settings.xml to see which mirrors you are using
  • Verify that there are no firewalls blocking access to the repositories
