With
--@rules_java//java:incompatible_language_version_bootclasspath
, the bootclasspath used for Java compilation is now determined based on the numeric version specified in--java_language_version
and the type specified in--java_runtime_version
rather than just using the target runtime.For example, with
--java_language_version=8
and--java_runtime_version=remotejdk_21
, the bootclasspath would extracted fromremotejdk_8
.For unversioned runtime versions such as
local_jdk
, the behavior doesn't change.If a matching runtime is not available, analysis fails with a customized error message explaining the various options to the user. Instead, to make the incompatible change less breaking, the failure could be downgraded to a warning and a fallback to the previous behavior.
