I'm having trouble trying to compile a maven project that uses the XBeeJavaLibrary.

mvn clean compile assembly:single

I checked the

XBeeDevice.class

file in the library and there's
import android.content.Context;

But i don't use Android here.

Anyway to bypass this ?

Hello,

Latest version of the library includes support for Android devices and there are new constructors for the XBeeDevice classes that need an Android context.

How do you define the dependency with the XBee Java Library in your Maven project? The library is now stored in Maven Central, so it should resolve all the dependencies automatically (including the Android one).

If the dependency is configured with the local xbee-java-library-1.2.0.jar file, you may need to add also a dependency with the android-sdk-5.1.1.jar library (we provide it in the extra-libs folder of the XBee Java Library release packet)

[brunoaduarte]

As the library was not available in Maven Central before, i manually installed it to my computer local repository.
I've also included the Android dependency and it worked

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.android</groupId>
        <artifactId>android</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.1.4</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

Thanks !
