FAQ

Since gcm-server.jar is not provided in a specific maven repository, a local maven repository that includes the library should be created. Alternatively, gcm-server repository can be establish using the following link

$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/home/huber/.m2/repository/gcm-server-1.0.3.jar -DgroupId=com.google.android.gcm.server -DartifactId=gcm-server -Dversion=1.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar

$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/home/huber/.m2/repository/mcm-wrapper/mcm-wrapper-1.0.0.jar -DgroupId=WebApiWrapper.mcminteroperability -DartifactId=mcm-wrapper -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar
