Do not generate a dist archive to jdk7 Our distribution archive is supposed to contain all the original sources, as well as derived architecture-independent files needed for bootstrapping. So there should only be one distribution archive, not a separate one for jdk7, especially, as the project is moving away from java 7 soon. Change our artifact building accordingly. Closes #2250. -- Change-Id: If34afb544702bc309f722bdc2891b9dc60fe9899 Reviewed-on: https://cr.bazel.build/9190 PiperOrigin-RevId: 149104302 MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=149104302
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
