Get jdk.WORKSPACE into the default WORKSPACE file by reading it as a Java resource, then passing it to the parser as a string instead of putting it into embedded_binaries then passing a Path to it to the parser.

This makes the upcoming default WORKSPACE rules for Android much more palatable. In particular, Android rules won't need to be special cased when building the Bazel binary because the contents are self-contained in BazelRuleClassProvider (and the jdk.WORKSPACE file, which is a simple Java resource)

Even better would be not to use a string, but some kind of structured data, but that's probably more effort than it's worth.

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.
