I have recently built it using maven. Haven't tried building it with eclipse but it should be straightforward. I built it with latest maven(i.e. version 3.2.3) against Android KitKat(i.e. API version 19) on Windows 8.1 using Java version 1.7.0_60. Here are the steps to do this,

• Install Maven & add %MAVEN_HOME%\bin to your PATH
• Download Android SDK & add the environment variable ANDROID_HOME which should point to the directory where you have put the Android SDK.
• Only tricky part is to modify the 3 pom.xml files which are included with the project which have the following section(sorry couldn't figure out how to paste XML properly),

You need to change the value inside version tags from 3.6.0 to 3.8.0 in order for the apk to be built successfully.
