Kelly,
Can you hold off pushing this for a few days? While this is compile-time
only dependency I think the impact needs further study.

7170969: Add @GenerateNativeHeader to classes whose fields need to be exported
for JNI
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ohair/openjdk8/generateHeaders1/webrev/
The new build infrastructure wants to fully automate the generation of the JNI
header files (running javah).
On classes that have "native" methods this is obvious, but class that only
export constants, and whose constants
are needed in the JNI native code, we need to mark these classes as needing
their native header file generated.
This change is adding:
import javax.tools.annotation.GenerateNativeHeader;
/* No native methods here, but the constants are needed in the supporting JNI
code */
@GenerateNativeHeader
To any class without a native method, but needing to expose it's constants to
the native code.
