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 Dan > [1] http://github.com/bhargavgolla/photark-mobile/blob/trunk/README.txt > > Regards > > Bhargav Golla > On 8 Oct 2013 01:39, "Bhargav Golla" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Dan >> >> Thanks for the wishes.
