After updating the Android SDK installation, my Android Jenkins projects failed with the message "Emulator did not appear to start; giving up".
As it turned out, Android SDK tools r12 now contains two emulators, "emulator-arm.exe" and "emulator-x86.exe". The old "emulator.exe" just starts the real emulator process and then quits. So, when the android-emulator plugin checks the process, it is already dead.
As a workaround, I renamed emulator-arm.exe to emulator.exe, but of course it would be nice to have the emulator platform configurable in the plugin

[FIXED JENKINS-10815] Don't check whether emulator process is alive on Windows.
As you can see, I made the above change on a branch, jenkins-10815.
I don't have a free Windows 7 machine at the moment that I could install SDK r12 on, so if you have any comments or could test the attached build, that would be appreciated.

added a comment - I did a quick check and it seems to work. Will check further later.

added a comment - I tried it on Windows XP 32bit with SDK r12, startup seems to work fine now.

Is the process check really necessary? The plugin waits for the adb port anyway...
Maybe the "
report-console" argument could be (mis)used for startup detection? A detailed description is available with "emulator -help-report-console".Other than that, the plugin could make the emulator binary name configurable, and directly start emulator-arm or emulator-x86.
