PR Type
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
What is the current behavior?
There is no rule that allows fine layering of JVM dependencies (like
py_layer
) forjava_image
s.Issue Number: N/A
What is the new behavior?
JavaInfo
is forwarded byfilter_layer
and there is a rulejava_layer
which functions identically topy_layer
that allows filtering dependencies.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
Other information
I wasn't sure that building the merged JavaInfo was the best way to do this, but I think any other way requires some more intrusive changes to
java_image
- I tried with an empty JavaInfo and forwarding the JavaInfo (as the code does with PyInfo) and they result in an empty layer and a layer with all dependencies (not filtering them at all) respectively.
