6.9

Please note The lock file format was changed in rules_jvm_external 5.1. If you update and repin your dependencies, your lock file will use the new format.

Usage

This version of rules_jvm_external requires Bazel 6.5.0, Bazel 7.6.1 or Bazel 8.

This release requires Java 11 or above to run, both as the host JDK and the build and tool JDK.

Bzlmod

If you are using Bazel 7 or above, in your MODULE.bazel file:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_jvm_external", version = "6.9")

To add dependencies, later in your MODULE.bazel file:

maven = use_extension("@rules_jvm_external//:extensions.bzl", "maven")

maven.install(
    artifacts = [
        "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.38.0",
    ],
    repositories = [
        "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2",
    ],
    lock_file = "//:maven_install.json",
)

use_repo(maven, "maven")

Workspace-based builds

In your WORKSPACE file, add:

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

RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_TAG = "6.9"
RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_SHA = "3c41eae4226a7dfdce7b213bc541557b8475c92da71e2233ec7c306630243a65"

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/bazel-contrib/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 = [
        "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.38.0",
    ],
    repositories = [
        "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2",
    ],
    maven_install_json = "//:maven_install.json",
)

Using dependencies

In your BUILD.bazel file, reference the targets directly:

java_library(
    name = "example",
    exports = [
        "@maven//:org_seleniumhq_selenium_selenium_java",
    ],
)
