java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: edu.umd.cs.findbugs.LaunchAppropriateUI from spotbugs with rules_jvm_external release 6.3

[nlou9]

Description: We upgrade to release 6.3 and we got error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: edu.umd.cs.findbugs.LaunchAppropriateUI from spotbugs. It looks this commit causes the issue.

We are able to reproduce it with a minimal configuration.

rules_jvm_external version: 6.3 rules_jvm version: 0.24.0

maven_install(
    artifacts = [
        "com.github.spotbugs:spotbugs:4.8.0",

    ],
    fetch_sources = True,
    maven_install_json = "@//:maven_install.json",
    repositories = [
     ......
    ],
    use_credentials_from_home_netrc_file = True,

I found that the rules_jvm_external release 6.3 adds feature to support pom. After we upgrade and run bazel run @unpinned_maven//:pin, it removed the com.github.spotbugs:spotbugs from the packages section of maven_install.json.

edu.umd.cs.findbugs.LaunchAppropriateUI should in edu.umd.cs.findbugs.launchGUI. Can you help to take a look why package com.github.spotbugs:spotbugs got removed?

package info in maven_install.json before upgrade
