Yes, it does.  Though I can see that there would likely be some
prerequisites that a developer would need to install (such as the Android
SDK etc).

I think a reasonable compromise would be for us to put the building of
these viewers into a separate profile that is not active by default... then
the dev could go "mvn clean install -P androidviewer" etc.

Cheers

That sounds good enough. Will work on maven build for my viewer.

 I contributed a couple of paragraphs about your projects, so your
successful involvement on GSOC 2013 is now on public record!

 Later, though - once there's enough evidence to the community of ongoing
involvement - I would put a vote forward for you to become committers so
you can continue to develop them directly.
