@hvadehra @meteorcloudy I just realized that we could also move this over and delete it from bazel_tools. What do you think? We could fix bazelbuild/bazel#24150 here.

The move sounds fine to me. I'll let @hvadehra do the review.

@hvadehra @meteorcloudy I just realized that we could also move this over and delete it from bazel_tools. What do you think? We could fix bazelbuild/bazel#24150 here.

I included the fix in bazelbuild/bazel#24161
It doesn't have any unit tests since there seem to be none to add.
A further contribution may be to include https://github.com/google/compile-testing at some point

@hvadehra This is ready for review now, CI is green.

@hvadehra Friendly ping

@Wyverald http_jar in rules_java doesn't work with Bazel 6 as it loads cache.bzl, which isn't available in that Bazel version.

I'm aware of this (decided not to try to fix it since it's too much work). Is it blocking you?

If you are aware of this it's fine, it just means that rules_java can't use it yet.

@fmeum This is causing a few issues on import, could you please change the newly added BUILD files to BUILD.bazel?

@hvadehra Done

@hvadehra Could you cut a new release so that this can be integrated into bazelbuild/bazel#24219?

Done: bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry#3213
