Hi folks, tl;dr: the way Fennec builds with moz.build and Gradle has evolved, but you should observe no differences in your daily development.
Context: you may have seen Myk's blog post [3] discussing GeckoView and some amount of work the platform team (and myself) are doing in this direction. This is part of that work. Details: thanks to the efforts of Jim Chen (mostly), we now build GeckoView before building Fennec -- as a separate JAR under moz.build, and as a separate Gradle project under Gradle. As of Bug 1291363 [1], we now publish a (non-functional) geckoview.aar and geckoview_example.apk as part of the Bg (Build Gradle) job on Tree Herder (like [2]). There's no real GeckoView API at this time, but this sets the build-packaging-infrastructure framework to develop one, if the platform team elects to invest in this. Again, you should see no changes to your local development. Please file fall-out blocking Bug 1291363 [1] and CC me. Yours, Nick [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1291363 [2] https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=fx-team&selectedJob=11833099 [3] https://mykzilla.org/2016/09/14/the-once-and-future-geckoview/
