As many of you know the Maven versions of Android ANT tools have only been updated for SDK 1.0 and no sign on when they may be updated for SDK 1.5. Android is different in that we have almost full JavaSE on mobile instead of limited j2me. That requries a little more qa and code analysis , reporting, and etc well at least if you want ot move the fast Agile way in development

I found something that may be of use, its called Glean. Basically its a package of ANT scripts that run the code reporting and analysis tools with a nice groovy dashboard. it has a nice way to extend so that I could customize that for Android  development. I could re-use my own Android ANT build scripts and use those lessons to  extend Glean for Android.

The particular hole I see at the monent is computing code coverage. That will have to wait for  a tool that  the Android team(Google and OHA) are currently working on as it.
