+This directory is for components that have the Content Module as the |
+uppermost layer they depend on. They may depend only on the Content |
+API (content/public) and on lower layers (e.g. base/, net/, ipc/ |
+etc.). |
+ |
+These components are not part of the Content Module itself. They are |
+built in a separate .gyp file (content_components.gyp in this |
+directory). |
+ |
+Components that have bits of code that need to live in different |
+processes (e.g. some code in the browser process, some in the renderer |
+process, etc.) should separate the code into different subdirectories. |
+Hence for a component named 'foo' you might end up with a structure |
+like the following: |
+ |
+content/components/foo - DEPS, OWNERS, foo.gypi |
+content/components/foo/browser - code that needs the browser process |
+content/components/foo/common - for e.g. IPC constants and such |
+content/components/foo/renderer - code that needs renderer process |
+content/components/foo/java - Android code |

One of these is not like the others. Why is java
|
+ |
+These subdirectories should have DEPS files with the relevant |
+restrictions in place, e.g. only content/components/foo/browser should |
+be allowed to #include from content/public/browser. |
