    copied!<p>I'm working on an Android app in NetBeans 7.3 (because it's my preferred IDE). It's a Maven project, it has a dependency on <a href="http://actionbarsherlock.com/usage.html" rel="nofollow">ActionBarSherlock</a> and I'm using the android-maven-plugin.</p> <p>My POM is similar to this one:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"&gt; &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt; &lt;parent&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;amnl.example&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;android-parent&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/parent&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;amnl.example&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;android-app&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt; &lt;packaging&gt;apk&lt;/packaging&gt; &lt;name&gt;Yet Another Android App&lt;/name&gt; &lt;dependencies&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;com.google.android&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;android&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;4.1.1.4&lt;/version&gt; &lt;scope&gt;provided&lt;/scope&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;com.actionbarsherlock&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;actionbarsherlock&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;4.3.1&lt;/version&gt; &lt;type&gt;apklib&lt;/type&gt;

&lt;/artifact&gt; &lt;artifact&gt; &lt;file&gt;${project.build.directory}/proguard/mapping.txt&lt;/file&gt; &lt;type&gt;map&lt;/type&gt; &lt;classifier&gt;release&lt;/classifier&gt; &lt;/artifact&gt; &lt;/artifacts&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;executions&gt; &lt;execution&gt; &lt;id&gt;attach-signed-aligned&lt;/id&gt; &lt;phase&gt;package&lt;/phase&gt; &lt;goals&gt; &lt;goal&gt;attach-artifact&lt;/goal&gt; &lt;/goals&gt; &lt;/execution&gt; &lt;/executions&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; &lt;/plugins&gt; &lt;/build&gt; &lt;/profile&gt; &lt;/profiles&gt; &lt;/project&gt; </code></pre> <p>Everything works fine until I actual want to use the ActionBarSherlock library. NetBeans does not seem to recognize the classes in the apklib (for example <code>com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity</code>). I can find the apklib in the tree structure of the project in NetBeans, but it's filed under Non-classpath Dependencies. It does recognize the generated sources of the library (like <code>com.actionbarsherlock.R</code>).</p> <p>How can I fix this, so that NetBeans does not complain about classes not being found and so that auto-completion works for these classes?</p> <p>I tried several possible workarounds (<a href="http://kinetikmobi.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/classes-inside-apklib-not-showing-up-in-netbeans/" rel="nofollow">1</a>, <a href="https://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/issues/detail?id=139#c4" rel="nofollow">2</a>, <a href="https://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/issues/detail?id=139#c6" rel="nofollow">3</a>), but they were not working for me. Also I'm pretty sure <a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220446" rel="nofollow">NetBeans bug 220446</a> is related</p>
