Android Background Services are developed in a separate git repo that we
then merge to mobile/android [1].

It's a small development team, usually only 2 or 3 at any one time.  We
develop using Eclipse and have shared or equivalently configured Eclipse
to format code how we like.  The Java formatter is not perfect but it
works well in practice, and we rarely have style issues.  I use emacs at
the same time, especially when touching up rebases [2].

Fennec is almost all text editors.  We have an open ticket to support
IDEs [3], but there are a lot of things working against us.

[1] This merge process is essentially manual and is similar to the
Jetpack SDK merge process.

[2] I use magit for all vcs interactions, so it's natural to do all of
this stuff in Emacs.
