Looks like rules-proto-grpc/rules_proto_grpc no longer supports java

[wcurrie]

As of this commit rules-proto-grpc/rules_proto_grpc@8b8dc50, it looks like there's no support for java in rules-proto-grpc. Should the table here be updated?

There's no java listed here either

Maybe the rule from grpc-java should be mentioned instead?

From the discussion here, maybe the desired state isn't known yet:

Do you have a recommendation of which one?

Based upon this issue, it looks like they intend to support it. Since this seems related to the migration to bzlmod and java support is available on their legacy branch, I recommend that we not update the table.

Ah, so maybe the plan/thinking is java support back to the master branch after they work out how to add bzlmod support to grpc-java. That's probably what is explained in rules-proto-grpc/rules_proto_grpc#269

Step 1 on this process will be a minimum viable module that maybe just supports a single language.

I'd not understood that sorry. It's currently a bit confusing since the generated rules-proto-grpc docs linked from the legacy branch (and served from googling) don't mention java right now

Full documentation for the current and previous versions can be found here

Thanks!

Noting for anybody else. On the docs site, there's a version toggle at the bottom. Switch off latest to see the docs about java

https://rules-proto-grpc.com/en/4.5.0/

And there's a note in the readme too
