Alexandre Poirot 040c1a34cc Bug 1566457 - Removed deprecated gDevTools JSM. r=jdescottes
This was kept to support old xul addons. All mozilla-central usages
have been removed and now uses Loader.jsm to get access to this module.

Directories Overview

This page provides a very top level overview of what is on each directory in the DevTools source code:

  • devtools/shared: Code shared by both the client (front-end UI) and server. If we are using any third party libraries, or importing external repositories into our tree, those libraries generally live here (eg, devtools/shared/acorn), assuming they are used by both client and server.
    • devtools/shared/client: Code for the Remote Debugging Protocol (RDP) client. You may wonder why this is not in devtools/client below: it's mainly because tests in server also need access to the RDP client.
    • devtools/shared/locales: Strings used in either the server only, or shared with both the client and server.
  • devtools/server: Code for the RDP server and transport layer.
  • devtools/client: Code for the front-end side of our tools. In theory, each directory corresponds to a panel, but this is not always the case. This directory is only shipped with desktop Firefox, as opposed to other directories above, which are shipped with all Gecko products (Firefox for Android, etc.)
    • devtools/client/locales: Strings used in the client front-end.
    • devtools/client/themes: CSS and images used in the client front-end.
