This project aims not to provide a silver bullet for converting your Gradle or Maven build configurations to Bazel but instead it aims to help automate the most annoying 90+% of work required to support dependencies in your BUILD files for Kotlin/Java project. This Generator only relies on parsing your source code for figuring out package-level dependencies.

• fkorotkov/microservices - GRPC Kotlin micro services in a monorepo

First of all a WORKSPACE file is needed to be created to define rules_jvm_external and rules_kotlin of your choice (you can take a look at WORKSPACE file of this project or any other example projects from above).

All external maven dependencies should be pined and defined in maven_install.json file in the root of your repository. Please refer to rules_jvm_external documentation for details.

The generator will use maven_install.json in order to infer packages that each of the external dependencies contain.

Please clone and build this project:

bazel build //:cmd 

Now you can try to generate BUILD files for your project:

bazel-bin/cmd --workspace-root ~/worspace/my-project --source-content-root module1/src --source-content-root module2/src

Note: if none of the --source-content-root are passed the generator will try to find recursively all src folders inside --workspace-root.

• --source-content-root - path to root of your project where WORKSPACE file from above was created.
• --source-content-root - relative or absolute paths to folder where Generator will look for source roots (Generator expects Maven project structure ).
• --dependencies - path to a JSON file with dependencies (defaults to dependencies.json).
• --caching - Downloaded jar files will be cached in .cache/maven folder.
• --dry-run - Run everything without generating BUILD files.
