Packaging / Mavenizing commonsware components

Question

I am using merge list in my android project and up until now I have just been shoving the source into my src root with the rest of my code. However I'm not modifying anything so I figured it was time to include this stuff as libraries. I clone the first repo and:

$ ant
Buildfile: /Users/user/dev/projects/cwac-sacklist/build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/Users/user/dev/projects/cwac-sacklist/build.xml:49: taskdef class com.android.ant.SetupTask cannot be found
 using the classloader AntClassLoader[]

Total time: 0 seconds

It looks like this ant script is looking for some stuff created by the "android" tool.. but I don't see any docs.. but I see the missing prop sdk.dir.. so I create that in local.properties.. but then I get:

/Users/user/dev/libs/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools/ant/lib_rules.xml:126: Reference android.libraries.src not found.

What is the right way to go about packaging this stuff so I can shove it in my local maven repo? Or better yet, where can I find it pre-packaged or in an existing maven repo?

UPDATE - 2014-07-08

It looks like commonsware now has all this stuff in a proper repo:

from: https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-sacklist

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://repo.commonsware.com.s3.amazonaws.com"
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.commonsware.cwac:sacklist:1.0.0'
}

Your first error is a standard one, caused by a discrepancy between the build files in the repo and your version of the build tools. Simply run:

android update project -p ...

where ... is the path to the project in question, to update the build files.

Your second error is solved by adding the following lines to build.xml, just after the <setup/> tag:

<path id="android.libraries.src"><path refid="project.libraries.src" /></path>
<path id="android.libraries.jars"><path refid="project.libraries.jars" /></path>

You will see those lines in the MergeAdapter edition of build.xml, though they apparently are not in the SackOfViewsAdapter build.xml file, as I have not touched that project in some time.

Or better yet, where can I find it pre-packaged or in an existing maven repo?

If there is one, it's unofficial, as I am not a Maven user.
