I am currently using rules_jvm_external in order to use external maven dependencies with Bazel. My use-case is to do a major upgrade of a dependency to do a PoC project. What is the best way to get the dependency just for my PoC project.
From the documentation, one option for such a case is to have multiple maven_install.json files. However, this doesn't seem feasible for everyone as:
- We would need to have a looot of maven_install.json files for each PoC.
- Adds complexity to the developers having to learn more of Bazel (something we want to try to avoid as we want to keep it as simple as we can).
