Credit

• This project is heavily inspired by johnynek/bazel-deps which was forked from pgr0ss/bazel-deps which was inspired by the aether examples for walking maven dependencies. Credit goes to those projects for trail blazing. The SimpleRepositoryListener class is a reasonably direct translation of a file from the aether examples project. While no other code was directly copied from these earlier projects, this project is a spiritual successor of these projects.

• The project also took ideas from other similar projects:

  • rules_jvm_external
  • Mabel
  • bazel_maven_repository
