package R does not exist in android project

[Satyajit Malugu <sa...@urbanspoon.com>]

I am trying to build with maven our android existing project that has 
been build with eclipse. I had to do a lot of changes and tinkering 
around pom.xml files.
Project is dependent on other projects, so they have their own pom.xml 
files.

I was able to individually compile these projects with their pom.xml's 
but the master project I am getting this error:

    cannot find symbol: class R
    package R does not exist


I am using intellij12. The master pom.xml is given below.

There are few things I want to mention about this I am only sure about 
the dependencies part, the plugin part is something I pasted from other 
sample projects and this is where I think the trouble is. Also ignore 
the parent part I think it has no use for me.

Based on the error seems like project is not building in the correct 
order, first it needs to build/compile R and then so on, right? Pointers 
in right direction are appreciated.
