Well... at the moment I'm working out how to do old style externals for android... I've got it working for iOS with mergJSON and it looks like I can do the same for android once I work out the nitty gritty... It's how RunRev do their externals but I need to massage it all into something less specific to their repo... Then we will have cross platform C/C++ externals.... Beyond that is what we really want in a Java interface and at the moment because I haven't really done any JNI before I'm just following along with great interest what RunRevMark and Jan are doing/discussing while making some contributions to the way the interface definition files are compiled...

The other thing I've been doing is playing with OS X externals using the new externals sdk which after a bugfix to the engine from RunRevMark is working pretty nicely so mergAV, mergAWS and possibly some others (maybe the forthcoming mergSocket... ) will be available on OS X soonish... The nice thing about that is you can test in the IDE...

Cheers
