mkdir src/main/java/com/example/cmdline

should be 

mkdir -p src/main/java/com/example/cmdline

This command

bazel build //src/main/java/com/example/cmdline:runner

seems to be wrong:

~/p/b/e/cmdline % bazel build //src/main/java/com/example/cmdline:runner

ERROR: no such package 'src/main/java/com/example/cmdline': BUILD file not found on package path

INFO: Elapsed time: 0.088s

This seemed to give the expected result:

~/p/b/e/cmdline % bazel build //cmdline:runner

ERROR: /Users/aove215/projects/bazel/ex1/cmdline/BUILD:2:1: Target '//:greeter' is not visible from target '//cmdline:runner'. Check the visibility declaration of the former target if you think the dependency is legitimate.

ERROR: Analysis of target '//cmdline:runner' failed; build aborted.

Looks like you are right about this. I will submit a patch for this.

This does not look wrong to me.

Have you added the BUILD file to //src/main/java/com/example/cmdline directory?

If you have it then it probably should work, no? 

~/p/b/e/cmdline % bazel build //src/main/java/com/example/cmdline:runner

ERROR: no such package 'src/main/java/com/example/cmdline': BUILD file not found on package path

That is what I say above, you need to create the BUILD file in this cmdline directory and declare the java_binary there.
