5.1

Please note The lock file format has changed with this release. If you update and repin your dependencies, your lock file will use the new format.

Usage

This version of rules_jvm_external requires Bazel 4 or above.

In your WORKSPACE file, add:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG = "5.1"
RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_SHA ="8c3b207722e5f97f1c83311582a6c11df99226e65e2471086e296561e57cc954"

http_archive(
    name = "rules_jvm_external",
    strip_prefix = "rules_jvm_external-%s" % RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG,
    sha256 = RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_SHA,
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external/releases/download/%s/rules_jvm_external-%s.tar.gz" % (RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG, RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG)
)

load("@rules_jvm_external//:repositories.bzl", "rules_jvm_external_deps")

rules_jvm_external_deps()

load("@rules_jvm_external//:setup.bzl", "rules_jvm_external_setup")

rules_jvm_external_setup()

Then, later in your WORKSPACE file, you can pull in dependencies from a maven repository:

load("@rules_jvm_external//:defs.bzl", "maven_install")

maven_install(
    artifacts = [
        "junit:junit:4.13.2",
        "androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.1",
        "org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:2.2",
    ],
    repositories = [
        "https://maven.google.com",
        "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2",
    ],
)

In your BUILD file, reference the targets directly:

java_library(
    name = "java_test_deps",
    exports = [
        "@maven//:junit_junit",
        "@maven//:org_hamcrest_hamcrest_library",
    ],
)

New features

• Introduce a new lock file format. This is designed to be more stable as dependencies are updated. Your lock file will be updated when you repin your maven dependencies. For the default dependency, you can do this using REPIN=1 bazel run @unpinned_maven//:pin
• The outdated command now shows pre-release and regular release information
• Updated coursier to v2.1.0-RC6
• The use_unsafe_shared_cache option has been removed from maven_install
