Issue using the maven rule

[yeshamavani]

Hello
I am new to maven as well as bazel
I am currently working on a POC to check how we can build and deploy java maven monorepo structure repositories to maven central
This is the link to my git repo monorepo -- https://github.com/yeshamavani/mavenpublish

I have added the hhtp_archive in my WORKSPACE file pointing to the repository
But I am still facing the error
can I get some help on this, as mentioned I am new to bazel and infact maven as well but seeing the benefits of bazel over maven we would like to start with bazel itself.

I even tried placing this particular http_archive at the start/ end of the file but still no luck.

Hope to here from you.

Hi @yeshamavani ! Delighted to hear you're in the process of adopting Bazel - we've found it results in faster builds and more scalable build infrastructure overall.

Unfortunately cyclic dependencies in the WORKSPACE file are one challenge to overcome. I'd suggest trying a few things:

• Maybe move the vaticle_bazel_distribution http_archive closer to the top of the file (currently it is at the bottom);
• Maybe delete the bazel_skylib http_archive and/or the rules_jvm_external http_archive. To the best of my knowledge, vaticle_bazel_distribution already depends on both.

Good luck!

Hello @alexjpwalker
I tried to play around with the placement of vaticle_bazel_distribution but this time I have a new error
Here is a link to my PR -- yeshamavani/mavenpublish#2 that I am working on

I have used https://github.com/wix/greyhound as a reference and tried loading vaticle-bazel and rules_jvm_external just the way they did but still I have no luck
Can I please get some help over this I have to submit a POC to my team on this.

@yeshamavani I'm guessing from that error message that you have two Bazel targets named sharedlibrary in the same package (BUILD file). Target names must be unique within each BUILD file, as must be the files that they output.
