[Android-tools-devel] Android Gradle Plugin

[殷啟聰]

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the effort on the Java part of Android SDK!

I would insist that the package should follow the naming and
versioning conventions of the existing AOSP packages by Android-Tools
team. For this source package, the name should be
"android-platform-tools-base" and the version should be something like
"6.0.0+r26-1".

We have a simple and unified way to fetch the upstream tarball. Please
check out one of our packages, e.g. src:android-platform-libcore [1].

AFAIK this repository needs a buildSrc from [2] to build. Did you also
include this part into the upstream tarball? For now we have been
making one package for exactly one repository instead of merging
multiple repositories. Hence if I were you I would make another source
package called "android-platfrom-tools-buildsrc" which produces
"android-platform-tools-buildsrc-source" containing the Java codes or
"libandroid-tools-buildsrc-java" containing the "buildSrc.jar".

And I am also wondering where are you going to maintain this package?
pkg-java or Android-Tools team?

Cheers,
Kai-Chung Yan
