We (at Gluon) only use the static libraries from the mobile builds, not the modules/jars (they come from the upstream builds). 
Hence, the desktop module (which also contains the beans etc) is still used, but the binary (jmod) comes from upstream.

However, it would make sense to build the module here too, and only exclude the native part indeed.
