Android Gradle plugin bumped to 4.2.0 in examples, for Gradle 7 compat
and to match main build.
Jib 3 changed default base image away from distroless, but we do want
to use distroless.
Protobuf uses Guava 30.1.1, so I upgrade it at the same time. It also
caused an update to rules_jvm_external and reworking the Bazel build.
Protobuf no longer requires bind() so they were dropped. Although
Protobuf's protobuf_deps() brings in rules_jvm_external, and so we don't
need to define it ourselves, it seems better to define it directly and
not depend on transitive deps since we use it directly.
Protobuf now has support for maven_install() by exposing
PROTOBUF_MAVEN_ARTIFACTS, which required reorganizing the WORKSPACE to
use maven_install() after loading protobuf. Protobuf still doesn't
define target overrides for itself so we still maintain those. When
reorganizing the WORKSPACE I noticed http_archive should ideally be
above io_grpc_grpc_java as most users will need it there, so I fixed
that since there were lots of other load()-reordering already.
This change can have large impact from two aspects:
1. It calls out a _large_ impact on the _few_ Java 7 users.
2. It may have _small_ impact on the _many_ Android users.
https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/4671 tracks gRPC's removal of
Java 7 support. We are quite eager to drop Java 7 support as that would
allow using new language features like default methods. Guava is also
dropping Java 7 support and starting in 30.1 it will warn when used on
Java 7. The purpose of the warning is to help discover users that are
negatively impacted by dropping Java 7 before it becomes a bigger
problem.
The Guava logging check was implemented in such a way that there is an
optional class that uses Java 8 bytecode. While the class is optional at
runtime, the Android build system notices when dexing and fails if
Java 8 language featutres are not enabled. We believe this will not be a
problem for most Android users, but they may need to add to their build:
```
android {
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}
```

javax.annotation-api is licensed CDDL, which was not noticed when it was
introduced. Tomcat provides an Apache 2 version of the same annotation. Note
that this annotation is only used when compiling with Java 9+.
Unfortunately this may cause classpath collisions since there are _many_ copies
of this annotation on Maven Central; we wanted one canonical source and
javax.annotation-api seemed like that source. We hope this won't impact many
users since we have always suggested using it only for compilation. But it will
probably impact some users. However, we didn't create this mess, this seems to
be "standard practice" for J2EE, which this annotation is now part of, so we're
just impacted by it.
Fixes#6833
This mainly avoids protoc from 3.7.0 which has a dependency on libatomic. Most
of our systems have libatomic, so it mostly works, but the interop docker
container does not, so building fails. Version 3.7.1 was rebuilt to avoid
needing the libatomic shared library.
This has the added benefit that Bazel is now on the same version as Gradle, as
3.7.1 included fixes for Bazel.
For Bazel, we upgrade to protobuf 3.6.1.2 and javalite HEAD to fix
incompatibilities in newer Bazel releases.
compiler/Dockerfile is unused, so it was removed instead of being updated.
protoc no longer includes codegen for nano, so we remain on the older protoc
any time nano is used.
Protobuf now requires C++11 when compiling, so windows was swapped to
VC 14.
This PR adds an automatic gradle format checker and reformats all the *.gradle files. After this, new changes to *.gradle files will fail to build if not in good format, just like checkStyle failure.
