Publish Gradle Module Metadata with Variants.
To be conservative, this commit does not removes most annotation artifacts from Gradle's runtime classpath, only j2objc-annotations. The other artifacts contain at least some annotations with RUNTIME visibility (IIRC). (Even this change could theoretically affect users who assume that they can read CLASS-retention annotations (of which j2objc-annotations has some) from bytecode and find them in the runtime classpath. But that seems unlikely, especially for j2objc annotations.) We may consider being more aggressive in the future. For now, this particular commit addresses #2824 for Gradle users just a tiny bit, and it helps with the problem that prompted #6567.
Fixes #3683
RELNOTES=Added Gradle Module Metadata. If you use Gradle 6 or higher, Gradle can automatically intelligently resolve conflicts between
guava-android
andguava-jre
, among other benefits.
