4.3

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 = "4.3"
RULES_JVM_EXTERNAL_SHA = "6274687f6fc5783b589f56a2f1ed60de3ce1f99bc4e8f9edef3de43bdf7c6e74"

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/refs/tags/%s.zip" % 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()

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",
    ],
)

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

Users upgrading from previous versions are advised to repin their dependencies as the format of the lock file has been updated: bazel run @unpinned_maven//:pin
