Hi,

Can you provide more information about the planned transition from Jack to 
javac + dx? 

Will you keep the backend of Jack and just refactor it to use bytecode 
input only and rename it to dx, or will you go back to the old dx codebase 
and start adding Java 8 support?

If you keep the internals of Jack, will the new dx tool still provide 
ProGuard functionality?

Which project in AOSP Gerrit will include the new tool?

Full disclosure: I am the project lead of the Multi-OS Engine 
(https://multi-os-engine.org). In MOE 2.0 (our current development version) 
we are using Jack with a lot of MOE specific enhancements (e.g. export list 
generation for the native linker in our new LLVM based ART backend, 
annotation processing, custom ProGuard features). I would like to get a 
clear picture whether we can reuse at least some of the code we developed 
for Jack, or we have to rewrite that code from scratch.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Gergely
