Answer 1

The Android Maven plugin has been updated to support changes made in the Android SDK r14 release. You will need to adjust your POM to use the new version. I experienced an out of memory error with the new version when building my app, so note the dex jvmArguments section to allow for more available memory.

    com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2
    android-maven-plugin
    3.0.0-alpha-13
    
        
            ${android-platform}
        
        
            
                -Xms256m
                -Xmx512m
            
        
        true
        true
    
    true

The latest version of the Android Configurator (m2e-android) for Eclipse also supports the changes in r14. Lastly, I've posted a follow up blog on the SpringSource site called Updated Maven Support for Android Projects, which goes over these updates to the tools.
