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.
