Android Development on ESXi5

Hey all,

The company I work for are a software developer (java based) and we run all our development linux VMs on vSphere 4 (esxi4.1) and will be upgrading to 5 soon.  The other day I got told that they want to start developing Android & iOS apps soon as well.  Now I know iOS requires a Mac to develop on so thats fine, but Android I'm not sure on.

Is there a way to have Android VMs running on ESXi5 that mirror the OS's running on mobile devices, so ICS, JellyBean etc?  If so, any ideas how to do this?


Thanks,


Andy

You need Android for x86, but it runs fine.

Android for ARM etc will not run on ESXi
