scala_import

scala_import(
    name,
    jars,
    deps,
    runtime_deps,
    exports,
    neverlink,
    srcjar
)

scala_import enables the use of precompiled Scala .jar files as dependencies for other Scala rules like scala_library, similar to java_import from Java rules.

This rule reimplements java_import without support for ijars, which break Scala macros. Generally, ijars don’t help much for external dependencies, which rarely change.

runtime_deps	List of labels, optional Runtime dependencies that are needed for this library.
exports	List of labels, optional List of targets to add to the dependencies of those that depend on this target.
