Maven could not find Android 4.2 dependency

I am building my android app with Maven (ok... trying to build), after several errors I got to this one : 

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project AndroidPro: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.kowalsk.android.recipe:AndroidPro:apk:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.google.android:android:jar:4.0.3 in central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]

I used maven-android-sdk-deployer and downloaded all needed libraries, but it haven't solved the problem.

When using maven-android-sdk-deployer : the stub for android libraries will be installed in your local maven repo with the groupId android (i.e. not com.google.android)

The groupId com.google.android is the official groupId used by google to publish some versions of android API. I don't know why only few versions are available (probably because maven wasn't the build tool choose by google for the android platform). We can hope that in a near future (mainly because google choose gradle as new build tool): all versions will be available with the groupId com.google.android in central repo.

In my local repo, the stubs installed with maven-android-sdk-deployer have also a special version number with _rX appended. So to use the 4.0.3 I have the following dependency :

<dependency>
            <groupId>android</groupId>
            <artifactId>android</artifactId>
            <version>4.0.3_r3</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
