Answer 1

I used to have the same problem with Intellij 13 EAP, OS-X Mavericks, and a maven multi module Android project, where it was compiling fine by command line, but failing to rebuild/make thru the IDE.

Project Structure > Facets > select your Android project > 'Generated Sources' tab

check "Run 'process-resources' Maven task before Make" option.
