API Reference

Basic functions

These are the basic functions to get started.

To use these functions, load them at the top of your BUILD file. For example:

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

maven_install

maven_install(name, repositories, artifacts, fail_on_missing_checksum, fetch_sources,
              use_unsafe_shared_cache, excluded_artifacts, generate_compat_repositories,
              version_conflict_policy, maven_install_json, override_targets, strict_visibility,
              resolve_timeout, jetify)

Resolves and fetches artifacts transitively from Maven repositories.

This macro runs a repository rule that invokes the Coursier CLI to resolve and fetch Maven artifacts transitively.

PARAMETERS

Name Description Default Value
name A unique name for this Bazel external repository. "maven"
repositories A list of Maven repository URLs, specified in lookup order.

Supports URLs with HTTP Basic Authentication, e.g. "https://username:[email protected]".
[]
artifacts A list of Maven artifact coordinates in the form of group:artifact:version. []
fail_on_missing_checksum

-

True
fetch_sources Additionally fetch source JARs. False
use_unsafe_shared_cache Download artifacts into a persistent shared cache on disk. Unsafe as Bazel is currently unable to detect modifications to the cache. False
excluded_artifacts A list of Maven artifact coordinates in the form of group:artifact to be excluded from the transitive dependencies. []
generate_compat_repositories Additionally generate repository aliases in a .bzl file for all JAR artifacts. For example, @maven//:com_google_guava_guava can also be referenced as @com_google_guava_guava//jar. False
version_conflict_policy Policy for user-defined vs. transitive dependency version conflicts. If "pinned", choose the user's version unconditionally. If "default", follow Coursier's default policy. "default"
maven_install_json A label to a maven_install.json file to use pinned artifacts for generating build targets. e.g //:maven_install.json. None
override_targets A mapping of group:artifact to Bazel target labels. All occurrences of the target label for group:artifact will be an alias to the specified label, therefore overriding the original generated jvm_import or aar_import target. {}
strict_visibility Controls visibility of transitive dependencies. If True, transitive dependencies are private and invisible to user's rules. If False, transitive dependencies are public and visible to user's rules. False
resolve_timeout The execution timeout of resolving and fetching artifacts. 600
jetify Runs the AndroidX jetifier tool on all artifacts. False

Maven specification functions

These are helper functions to specify more information about Maven artifacts and repositories in maven_install.

To use these functions, load the maven struct at the top of your BUILD file:

load("@rules_jvm_external//:specs.bzl", "maven")

maven.repository

maven.repository(url, user, password)

Generates the data map for a Maven repository specifier given the available information.

If both a user and password are given as arguments, it will include the access credentials in the repository spec. If one or both are missing, it will just generate the repository url.

PARAMETERS

Name Description Default Value
url A string containing the repository url (ex: "https://maven.google.com/"). none
user A username for this Maven repository, if it requires authentication (ex: "johndoe"). None
password A password for this Maven repository, if it requires authentication (ex: "example-password"). None

maven.artifact

maven.artifact(group, artifact, version, packaging, classifier, override_license_types, exclusions,
               neverlink, testonly)

Generates the data map for a Maven artifact given the available information about its coordinates.

PARAMETERS

Name Description Default Value
group The Maven artifact coordinate group name (ex: "com.google.guava"). none
artifact The Maven artifact coordinate artifact name (ex: "guava"). none
version The Maven artifact coordinate version name (ex: "27.0-jre"). none
packaging The Maven packaging specifier (ex: "jar"). None
classifier The Maven artifact classifier (ex: "javadoc"). None
override_license_types An array of Bazel license type strings to use for this artifact's rules (overrides autodetection) (ex: ["notify"]). None
exclusions An array of exclusion objects to create exclusion specifiers for this artifact (ex: maven.exclusion("junit", "junit")). None
neverlink Determines if this artifact should be part of the runtime classpath. None
testonly Determines whether this artifact is available for targets not marked as testonly = True. None

maven.exclusion

maven.exclusion(group, artifact)

Generates the data map for a Maven artifact exclusion.

PARAMETERS

Name Description Default Value
group The Maven group name of the dependency to exclude, e.g. "com.google.guava". none
artifact The Maven artifact name of the dependency to exclude, e.g. "guava". none
