ActionBarSherlock maven dependency - actionbarsherlock

Question

I have been trying to add the ActionbarSherlock maven dependency to my project using the
<dependency>
<groupId>com.actionbarsherlock</groupId>
<artifactId>library</artifactId>
<version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>
in my pom.xml file. Now this works except for my styles.xml file, where it does not seem to the abs styles, but everything else works fine ? What am i doing wrong. Below is the full pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

ActionBarSherlock is a library project which means you need to add a <type>apklib</type> to the Maven dependency declaration.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.actionbarsherlock</groupId>
<artifactId>actionbarsherlock</artifactId>
<version>4.2.0</version>
<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>
(Note that I've also changed the artifactId to 'actionbarsherlock')
In order to do this, you need to have the android-maven-plugin referenced with <extensions>true</extensions>. It looks you have this requirement completed already from your pasted pom.xml.
