Sure. Just as you won't use your mocks in production, you won't use your
copies of the third-party JARs in production.

The easiest thing, for third-party code, is just to grab the code itself
out of source.android.com and use it. That won't work very well at all
for "real" Android code, but for third-party libraries I would expect it
to work reasonably well.

Of course, your mileage may vary, past performance is no guarantee of
future results, do not taunt Happy Fun Ball, etc.
