Add note about limitation of JAVA_HOME paths Because bazel uses junction points to connect @local_jdk to JAVA_HOME, and Windows does not support junction points referencing remote filesystems, it is currently necessary to install Java on a "local" filesystem. Using remote_jdk is a partial workaround, but that's more complex and doesn't belong in this document. Closes #7711. PiperOrigin-RevId: 238438245
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.
Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.
One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.
Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
