2.6

Changelog

• Added support for mirror URLs in maven_install.json. This increases redundancy when using pinned_maven_artifacts if certain mirrors are down.
• Added support for POM-only / parent artifacts.
• Updated pinning instructions for bazel run @unpinned_maven//:pin to specify the fully qualified label to maven_install.json for improved inter-operability between repositories. (thanks, @borkaehw)
• Reworked internal HTTP Basic username and password to use Coursier's --credentials flag. (thanks, @TheMarex)

Usage

In your WORKSPACE file, add:

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

RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG = "2.6"
RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_SHA = "064b9085b21c349c8bd8be015a73efd6226dd2ff7d474797b3507ceca29544bb"

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/archive/%s.zip" % RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG,
)

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

maven_install(
    artifacts = [
        "junit:junit:4.12",
        "androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.1",
        "org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.3",
    ],
    repositories = [
        "https://jcenter.bintray.com/",
        "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",
    ],
)

android_library(
    name = "android_test_deps",
    exports = [
        "@maven//:junit_junit"
        "@maven//:androidx_test_espresso_espresso_core",
    ],
)
