The new SDK 1.5 allows "add-ons" to be created: these create new system images that can add a custom library. On the Eclipse side, that library gets automatically added to the app classpath. On the Android side, apps then need to include a <uses-library> in their manifest and they automatically get access to that library at runtime.
This could be something worth looking at for Scala. The downside: it requires manually adding the said library on the devices as system libraries and I'd assume that would require root. I might be wrong. I personally have no clue how to make an add-on, I guess there's a sample somewhere in the android source code. Speaking of which there's this in the platform: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/development.git;a=blob;f=samples/PlatformLibrary/README.txt;hb=HEAD That means you need the platform code to make the library. However once you make an "SDK add-on" you can develop apps using the regular SDK.
