| This tool can be used to extract platform annotations, for use by |
| Android Studio, IntelliJ, and lint. It creates a .zip file with |
| external annotations in a format that IntelliJ and lint can read. This |
| allows annotations to live separately from the actual library's .class |
| files. This is particularly useful for annotations that have source |
| retention that we still want to allow the IDE to be aware |
| of. Furthermore, for the typedef annotations in particular, compiled |
| annotations cannot hold all the information we want to capture (e.g. a |
| reference to the actual field that is part of the typedef, not its |
| inlined value.) |
| |
| To build it, run "gradle installApp", then look in build/install for |
| the extract command. |
