maven_install artifact with classifier

[Robert Cauble]

Hi,

One of my artifacts in the maven_install has a maven classifier. I tried a couple of things and neither seems to work:

1) <groupid>:<artifactid>:<classifier>:<version>

2) <groupid>:<artifactid>:<version>-<classifier>

In case #1, it seems to completely ignore the classifier: build succeeds but when I look at the filesystem in ~/.cache/bazel, I only get the non-classified artifact.

In case#2, it fails with an error indicating it couldn't find the arifact.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob

Found something that works. I ended up using the maven.artifact utility rather than specifying in string format and that did the trick:

load("@rules_jvm_external//:defs.bzl", "maven_install")
load("@rules_jvm_external//:specs.bzl", "maven")

maven_install(
    artifacts = [

        maven.artifact(
            group="<group>",
            artifact="<artifact>",
            version="<version>",
            classifier="<classifier>")
    ]
...
)

Also found the code here and figured out what I was missing previously: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external/blob/master/specs.bzl#L132

With this syntax it works:

<groupid>:<artifactid>:<packaging>:<classifier>:<version>
