Hi Matthias,

I was looking over this thread and saw very cool convo going and got tempted to jump in.

I liked idea for

Limitation is that eclipse che will be just on browser and we can not run shell command from browser.
So finally we will need an app on client system, to which android device is connected.

Here I came up with 2 ways to achieve this :
  1. if master or slave jenkin system have the connected android device then we can trigger to install app on those devices.
  2. we can make app/script for client to use in addition of using che from browser. When user click on link to deploy app,
    the script will receive intent and script will install app to android device with help of adb.

(However these 2 ways still expect that either ADB is previously installed on system on packaged in plugin)

At present I could come up with only limited possibilities. Working on to find what else can be done.
