We're not considering to work on this, but happy to review a PR. (No assignee)
Would you welcome a PR that adds the Bazel Java runfiles library, which is available at
@bazel_tools//tools/java/runfiles
, torules_java
? According to the Starlark "Deploying rules" guide, it should be available at@rules_java//java/runfiles
.I am specifically asking this because I found an issue with the version of the runfiles libraries currently bundled with Bazel and am wondering about how future improvements to these libraries could be published so that users on older Bazel versions could still use them. Especially now that modules exist,
rules_java
is bound to get far more commonly used and would be a more natural place for modules to get the runfiles library from than@bazel_tools
