You can let the IDE create the jar from the maven artifacts.
Create a new project and add this line:
#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:support-v4
Run the project.
A jar file named Objects\bin\extra\stan.jar will be created.
You can use this jar in your Eclipse project. It will include ViewCompat.SetBackground if your maven repositories are updated.
Edit: this method no longer works as the compiler is more sophisticated now and doesn't need to create this jar.
