7.1

Please note The lock file format was changed in rules_jvm_external 5.1 and in 6.10. If you update and repin your dependencies, your lock file will use the new format.

Usage

This version of rules_jvm_external requires Bazel 7.7.1 or Bazel 8.7.0 or Bazel 9.

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

Bzlmod

In your MODULE.bazel file:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_jvm_external", version = "7.1")

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:4.46.0",
    ],
    lock_file = "//:maven_install.json",
)

use_repo(maven, "maven")

Using dependencies

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

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