I am trying to build a android project using maven. But when I run : mvn clean install I get the following error:

If you are using android version 17, you might want to try this documented workaround (i.e. I did not find it myself).

cd /platform-tools
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/aapt aapt
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/lib lib
