Note
For the moment, we are shipping only one "java bootstrap" needed for decompressing all the files of your project, create an OpenGL ES 2.0 surface, handle touch input and manage an audio thread.
If you want to use it without kivy module (an opengl es 2.0 ui toolkit), then you might want a lighter java bootstrap, that we don't have right now. Help is welcome :)
