Fix our Java 7 build

  - Follow redirects when downloading files:
       The github provided file lies after several redirect, giving a bad jars
       (see http://ci.bazel.io/job/Bazel/JAVA_VERSION=1.7,PLATFORM_NAME=linux-x86_64/144/console).
  - Remove building tools as part of the determinism tests: 
        With recent update, JavaBuilder can no longer be built with Java 7, 
        so we use a pre-built binary from version 0.1.0. However, the
        determinism test was still using it as a point of comparison. Removing
        tools from the determinism test prevent building JavaBuilder without
        giving up on testing actual determinism (building Bazel already contains
        all the edge-cases).

Tested with `bash -c 'export JAVA_VERSION=1.7; source scripts/ci/build.sh; bazel_build'`

Bazel (Beta)

{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.
