That’s fine - I’ll just poke around and see what is needed.

I’ve actually been using all the Fennec UI components (by create custom subclasses of GeckoApplication, BrowserApp, etc). The way I’ve been doing it thus far is using a hand-created AAR file. I misunderstood that the AAR files that are being created just for the GeckoView class. Is a full-application AAR something that would be helpful? Maybe I could take what I’m doing in my project, and build an AAR similar to how geckoview.aar is being built. If it wouldn’t be helpful for others, then I’ll just keep building my project as I am. (I just want to contribute back where I can - I understand that my requirements may not be useful for other/most people). Thanks! -Nathan
