This patch does two things. First, it adds the Search Activity sources
to the main Fennec Eclipse project (when enabled). There's no reason
for a separate project for these, since they are built as part of the
main Fennec package by moz.build.
Second, it arranges for Eclipse to generate the R.java and Manifest.java
files for all Android libraries and ignores the files generated by
moz.build. (The relevant classes are org.mozilla.{gecko,search}.R.)
This means renaming the FennecResources Eclipse project's package to
org.mozilla.gecko, and renaming the FennecResourcesSearch project's
package to org.mozilla.search. To be consistent, I switched
org.mozilla.fennec.resources to org.mozilla.gecko throughout.
To accommodate the crash reporter resources, which depend on the static
and generated resources, I added a layer of indirection. By moving the
main resources into project FennecResourcesStatic, we can have (reading
indentation as "depends on"):
FennecResources
FennecResourcesCrashReporter
FennecResourcesStatic
FennecResourcesGenerated
FennecResourcesBranding
This lets us break the bidirectional dependency between FennecResources
and FennecResourcesCrashReporter.
