We want annotationProcessors to be compiled and archived into a JAR at build time, ready to generate JNI wrappers. (That is, until we turn the whole thing into a real annotation processor.) But even if we do use a real annotation processor, we still need to generate SDK bindings, which is less clearly expressed as an annotation processor. (It's more of a build step.) Gradle provides a huge number of ways to organize build logic to achieve this: see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/organizing_build_logic.html. Unfortunately, the best such way -- putting the code into $topsrcdir/buildSrc -- has key disadvantages: 1) it pollutes the top-level $topsrcdir, and there's no way to change the location of buildSrc (https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/2472); 2) it's complicated to have a dependent project (mobile/android/annotations) expose its code via a buildSrc project; 3) using buildSrc at all appears to conflict with the Android-Gradle plugin version that we are using. Therefore, this commit does something much simpler: it adds a Java-only project and uses the resulting Gradle "Jar" task and archive output as input to the existing Gradle "generate JNI wrappers" task.

If you have a question about developing Mozilla, and can't find the solution
on https://developer.mozilla.org, you can try asking your question in a
mozilla.* Usenet group, or on IRC at irc.mozilla.org. [The Mozilla news groups
are accessible on Google Groups, or news.mozilla.org with a NNTP reader.]
You can download nightly development builds from the Mozilla FTP server.
Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla developers for
testing, may be buggy. Firefox nightlies, for example, can be found at:
