Hi folks, I'm working on a plan for transitioning Fennec builds to use Gradle in automation (everywhere, really). I've filed Bug 1254353 [1] to track this effort.
Bug 1119520 [2] added an opt-in Gradle mozconfig option. I've been using it for new TaskCluster jobs, including our Unit testing job, so the automation side of things is in reasonable shape. I would like a few strategic testers to opt-in to Gradle building. All that you need to do is add ac_add_options --with-gradle to your mozconfig, then |mach configure| and |mach build| as usual. You should find that the moz.build system is only partially used; the Gradle build kicks in to produce classes.dex; and |mach package| works as it did before. You should see no particular interaction between these moz.builds and your Gradle/IDE builds, since they use different Gradle configurations. It would be best if we had a few front-end developers (but not all!) and a few platform developers (but again, not all!). Please reply to this email if you can help out for a few days. Expect a transition plan in the next days and weeks, when I'll be asking for your feedback and concerns. Thanks!
