Fix bootstrapping in Docker images. Turns out, we couldn't run jarjar because the Java launcher script looks for the .jars in the runfiles and build-runfiles is stubbed out during bootstrapping. The only reason why this worked at all is that sandboxing *also* doesn't work during bootstrapping but it causes the creation of symlinks that happened to be just in the right place for the Java launcher to find the .jars . The fix is: - Explicitly disable sandboxing during bootstrapping so that coincidences like this don't happen again - Pass a --javabase and --host_javabase option during the bootstrap build so that we don't need any symlinks to access to JVM - Invoke jarjar using its deploy jar instead of the launcher script. That was fun. -- PiperOrigin-RevId: 145083357 MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=145083357

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.
