+ a18add1: Adds the source of the checker framework

+ c95cb5f: Add source for Javac
+ 4017d28: Fix fallout of incorrectly merged review (3921)
Incompatible changes:
- Skylark rules that are available from their own repository will
now issue a warning when accessed through @bazel_tools.
- Set --legacy_bazel_java_test to off by default. java_test will
now have a slightly different behaviour, correctly emitting XML
file but, as a downside, it needs correct declaration of the
test suite (see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/1017).
- Labels in .bzl files in remote repositories will be resolved
relative to their repository (instead of the repository the
Skylark rule is used in).
- Renamed proto_java_library to java_proto_library. The former
is now deprecated and will print out a warning when used.
- android_sdk now compiles android_jack on the fly from
android_jar, which means android_jar must be a jar and
android_jack is now deprecated. The Jack tools (jack, jill,
resource_extractor) must be specified.
- Any project that depended on the objc_options rule will be
broken. Can be fixed by adding attrs (infoplists,copts) directly
to rules depending on the options.
- .aidl files correctly require import statements for types
defined in the same package and the same android_library.
New features:
- Experimental Windows support is available.
- Experimental support for writing remote repository rules in
Skylark is available.
- iOS ipa_post_processor attribute allows for user-defined IPA
edits.
- Adds a to_json method to Skylark structs, providing conversion to
JSON format.
- Native python rule can depend on skylark rule as long as skylark
rule provides 'py' provider.
- When using both --verbose_failures and --sandbox_debug, Bazel
prints instructions how to spawn a debugging shell inside the
sandbox.
- add flag --sandbox_add_path, which takes a list of additional
paths as argument and mount these paths to sandbox.
Important changes:
- @androidsdk//:org_apache_http_legacy added for the legacy Apache
classes for android sdk version 23 and above.
- Genrules correctly work when used with bazel run.
- When namespace-sandbox is run with the -D (debug) flag and
inside a terminal, it spawns a shell inside the sandbox to aid in
debugging when the sandboxed command fails.
- Added --artifact to workspace generator for generating workspace
and build file rules from artifact coodrinates.
- Specifying --experimental_android_resource_shrinking on the
command line will enable a resource shrinking pass on
android_binary targets that already use Proguard.
- J2ObjC updated to 1.0.1 release.
- Added "root_symlinks" and "symlinks" parameters to Skylark
runfiles() method.
- You can no longer use objc_binary targets for the xctest_app
attribute of an ios_test rule.
- Enable overriding jsonnet binaries and stdlib for Jsonnet rules.
- mount target of /etc/resolv.conf if it is a symlink.
- Tests that failed to build because execution was halted no longer
print their status.
- Bazel warns if a cc rule's includes attribute contains up-level
references that escape its package.
- Add repository_ctx.download and repository_ctx.download_and_extract
function.
