1080671 - Upload pre- and post-ProGuard javap outputs

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, defect)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

ckitching suggested using javap to produce and upload reports of the contents of the Fennec namespace pre- and post-Proguard.  It's a nice idea; here's how to do it.

1) First, add code to mobile/android/base/Makefile.in around [1] that uses code like [2] to create two files containing the javap outputs.  A Make function (like aapt_command) that took a list of .jar files would be best, 'cuz we have two lists of .jar files that we want to process (see ALL_JARS and the contents of jars-proguarded).  Call these files pre-Proguard.javap.txt and post-Proguard.javap.txt.

2) Add these files to the libs:: line, and $(INSTALL) them into $(FINAL_TARGET) as well.

3) Add the files to the UPLOAD_EXTRA_FILES in packager.mk around [3].

4) Push a try build, and verify your files got built and uploaded to the build directory.

This is a reasonable mentored bug, if you're interested in the Mozilla build system; but not a good first bug.

Hi!  Thanks for your interest, but unfortunately this is not a good first (or even second) bug.  We always recommend looking at http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/?mobile=1&simple=1 for good first bugs that are mentored.
