How to work around a needed Maven (or Gradles) plugin

[Esben Nielsen]

Hi,

I would like to use Bazel in a Java project building Azure Function Apps - currently using Maven.

The final steps, however, is based on custom Maven plugins by Microsoft. When I look at the Microsoft documentation, there are only two ways of doing this: Using a Maven or a Gradle plugin.

There is no command line tool, I could have called from a genrule :-(.

I have played around making a genrule calling maven using the existing pom files, but it is very hard to prepare a suiteable sandbox for it, since I have to download/create all the dependencies and put into a local repository first, so I have more less given up on that.

Since it's a plugin that works for more than one java build tool, the chances are pretty high that there's an underlying shared library that they share. Is the code available? If it is, you can likely find the entry point to that shared code and call it yourself (perhaps with a custom `java_binary` target)
