| # Java compilers in Bazel |
| |
| Bazel compiles Java code using a custom builder. This builder is called |
| JavaBuilder and its code lies in //src/java_tools/buildjar. To build Java |
| code, JavaBuilder use the Java compiler from the JDK. To support |
| [ErrorProne](http://errorprone.info) checks, we vendor a custom build |
| of the Java compiler code. This is the raw version of the Java compiler |
| from [OpenJDK](https://openjdk.java.net) but compiled for a lower |
| version of the JRE. Those builds are vendored in |
| //third_party/java/jdk/langtools. |
