maven_install is strongly superior to previous forms of grabbing dependencies
from Maven as it computes the appropriate versions to use from the full
transitive dependencies of all libraries used by an application. It also has
much less boilerplate and includes dependencies with generated targets.
In the future we will drop the jvm_maven_import_external usages and require
maven_install, at which point we can swap to using the `@maven' repository and
no longer depend on compat_repositories.
Fixes#5359
io.grpc has fewer dependencies than io.grpc.internal. Moving it to a
separate artifact lets users use the API without bringing in the deps.
If the library has an optional dependency on grpc, that can be quite
convenient.
We now version-pin both grpc-api and grpc-core, since both contain
internal APIs.
I had to change a few tests in grpc-api to avoid FakeClock. Moving
FakeClock to grpc-api was difficult because it uses
io.grpc.internal.TimeProvider, which can't be moved since it is a
production class. Having grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core's test
classes would be weird and cause a circular dependincy. Having
grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core is likely possible, but weird and
fairly unnecessary at this point. So instead I rewrote the tests to
avoid FakeClock.
Fixes#1447
gRPC's protobuf-lite auto-selects between full and lite protobuf based on the
value of crosstool_top. If the user is specifying their own
--android_crosstool_top, then it will not auto-detect correctly. One day,
platforms will fix problems like this, but for the moment it seems we get to
live with it.
This was deprecated with Bazel 0.8.0, which now uses
@com_google_protobuf instead.
This change will break users that use
grpc_java_repositories(omit_com_google_protobuf_java=True), so I've
added a custom error message to make the resolution clearer.
This commit aligns the naming of the Bazel Maven jars with the names
used by Bazel's migration-tooling project:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/migration-tooling
Unfortunately, we can't fix @com_google_protobuf_java because it's
required by Bazel itself.
Fixes#3328
Bazel third party dependencies are specified in repositories.bzl which
gives the consumer the ability to opt-out of any dependencies they use
directly in their own project.
Fixes#2756
