Make the eclipse set-up more generic and support //external targets

With this change, other people might just copy the setup-eclipse.sh
and get_project_path.sh scripts and adapt it to their workspace
(change the variables at the top of the setup-eclipse.sh script) to
generate an eclipse project.

I tested it by replacing guava dependency in Bazel by a maven_jar and
importing the project in Eclipse on OS X.

It is incomplete because it actually filters out bind dependencies for
generated java source but there might be some java generation in them
if importing an other actual workspace. Let say that you have your
project and you want to import targets from the Bazel workspace, the
java library from generated sources won't be imported in the Eclipse
classpath and the sources will be imported as source in the Eclipse
classpath.

Bazel (Alpha)

{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.
