1291382 - [geckoview] Split org.mozilla.gecko.utils into {geckoview,gecko}.utils.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(GeckoView :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

Most of the utils are really GeckoView utilities, but some are
strictly Fennec (e.g., Experiments).  Along the way, things like
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/60458/diff/1#index_header will need
to be addressed.  This looks like adding a new JAR to
mobile/android/base/moz.build, or (much easier) just moving some of
the files from base/utils into a new directory and including them into
the gecko-browser JAR.

This doesn't strictly require Bug 1291363, but it's probably easiest if that lands first, because then it's more clear that we're moving things *back* from mobile/android/geckoview to m/a/base, which is Fennec.

Note that org.mozilla.geckoview is part of the public GeckoView API while org.mozilla.gecko is not. So if we don't want these utils to become part of the API we should repurpose this into "delete Fennec-only utils".

This is no longer relevant.
