Building apktool

[Revlin]

This issue has been on the google code website for 5 months now (http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=284). There's a work around posted there, but the work around doesn't work, so maybe someone here has another one. I believe this is specific to nux-based development environments.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. $ git clone git://github.com/brutall/brut.apktool.git apktool
2. $ cd apktool
3. $ mvn package

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected a successful build but the following output is generated:

Downloading: http://android-apktool.googlecode.com/svn/m2-releases/brut/apktool/smali/smali-pom/1.0-SNAPSHOT/smali-pom-1.0-SNAPSHOT.pom

K, so here is the workaround that was posted in google code Issue 284:

1. Open the subdirectory "repository\brut\apktool" in your local maven repository. It is usually located in you user home directory in a directory named ".m2".
2. Edit the following files:

smali\baksmali\1.3.0-brut6\baksmali-1.3.0-brut6.pom
smali\dexlib\1.3.0-brut6\dexlib-1.3.0-brut6.pom
smali\smali\1.3.0-brut6\smali-1.3.0-brut6.pom
smali\util\1.3.0-brut6\util-1.3.0-brut6.pom

in each of this files replace

"${aversion}" or "${version}" with
"1.3.0-brut6"

and 4 lines below in the element replace

"1.0-SNAPSHOT" with "1.0-brut1"

Afterwards the "mvn package" command will succeed.

Except that the build does not succeed, I get the same output. Seems like some other file is responsible for the faulty version tag but I don't know which one. Anybody?

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?
