Answer 1

I have been trying to figure this out ALL DAY LONG. Finally came across the right stuff online and so I'll share with you here.

Via command line:

android list sdk -a --extended

You will receive a list of all the valid packages to be downloaded and installed. You might need to adjust your buffer size to see them all. Snippet below

----------
id: 84 or "source-14"
     Type: Source
     Desc: Sources for Android SDK, API 14, revision 1
----------
id: 85 or "extra-android-m2repository"
     Type: Extra
     Desc: Android Support Repository, revision 5
           By Android
           Local Maven repository for Support Libraries
           Install path: extras\android\m2repository
----------
id: 86 or "extra-android-support" <-- YOU ELUSIVE SOB
     Type: Extra
     Desc: Android Support Library, revision 19.1
           By Android
           Install path: extras\android\support
----------
id: 87 or "extra-google-admob_ads_sdk"
     Type: Extra
     Desc: Google AdMob Ads SDK, revision 11 (Obsolete)
           By Google Inc.
           AdMob Ads SDK
           Install path: extras\google\admob_ads_sdk
----------
id: 88 or "extra-google-analytics_sdk_v2"
     Type: Extra
     Desc: Google Analytics App Tracking SDK, revision 3
           By Google Inc.
           Analytics App Tracking SDK
           Install path: extras\google\analytics_sdk_v2
----------
id: 89 or "extra-google-gcm"
     Type: Extra
     Desc: Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library, revision 3 (Obsolete)
           By Google Inc.
           GCM library has been moved to Google Play Services

Now:

android update sdk --no-ui -a --filter "extra-android-m2repository"

Hope this helps someone. I wasted a LOT of time tracking this guy down.
