Bazel: Support building with Java 9
Bazel@HEAD supports Java 9.
The current code has one single issue with Java 9 compliance: the usage
of javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter class for printHexBinary() method.
This class is not available on Java 9. One alternative is to use guava
library. Something similar was done here: [1]. But unlike the case with
checkstyle library, JGit currently doesn't use guava. Instead, we add
java.xml.bind module with --add-modules compiler option.
To build (or test) with Java 9, build custom bazel version and issue:
$ bazel --host_javabase=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-9-openjdk build \
--javacopt='--release 9' \
--java_toolchain=@bazel_tools//tools/jdk:toolchain_jdk9 :all
The Java 9 support is backwards compatible.
