After many years of issue 9179 being open, there's been nothing to show
that we need the javax.annotations.Generated annotation. Most tools use
file paths and a few check for annotations with "Generated" in the name.
ErrorProne has a few that check for javax.annotations.Generated, but
only UnnecessarilyFullyQualified looks like it'd be a problem and it is
disabled by default. We're not getting any more information, no users
have reported issues with `@generated=omit`, and the existing dependency
is annoying users, so just drop it.
Given we will still retain the GrpcGenerated annotation, it seems highly
likely things are already okay. Even if there are problems they would
probably be addressed by adding a io.grpc.stub.annotations.Generated
annotation or small tweaks. In the short-term, (non-Bazel) users can use
`@generated=javax`, but long-term we could consider removing the option
assuming we've resolved any outstanding issues.
We will want to update the examples and the README to remove the
org.apache.tomcat:annotations-api dependency after the next release.
Fixes#9179
The recommended way to load dependencies from `rules_jvm_external`
is to make use of the `@maven` workspace, and the most readable
way of doing that is to use the `artifact` macro provides.
This removes the need to generate the "compat" namespaces, which
`rules_jvm_external` provided for backwards compatibility with
older releases. This change also sets things up for supporting
`bzlmod`: this requires all workspaces accessed by a library to
be named "up front" in the `MODULE.bazel` file. This way, the
only repo that needs to be exported is `@maven`, rather than the
current huge list.
The 3rd-party rules_proto project is referencing our compiler directly
and not using our java_grpc_library. This target is fine for them to
use (although we'd prefer using our java_grpc_library), but most users
shouldn't be touching it.

This removes the "java_import to work around error with android_binary"
hack; see the b/78647825 references to see the really important parts.
But in general using a toolchain cleans up the code considerably and
allows us to reduce the visibility of our protoc plugin. It also is
useful to enable using aspects in the future to avoid using
make_non_strict() which would improve compilation speed avoid avoid many
unnecessary rebuilds.
This is an export of cl/229763103 and brings external up-to-sync with
internal.
Bazel third party dependencies are specified in repositories.bzl which
gives the consumer the ability to opt-out of any dependencies they use
directly in their own project.
