Cannot use artifacts from Google Maven

[vmax]

Attempting to include Android Support library (or, rather, any library from Google Maven) fails. Reproducible example:

dependencies.yaml:

options:
  languages: [ "java" ]
  resolvers: 
    - id: "google"
      url: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/
  transitivity: runtime_deps
  versionConflictPolicy: highest

dependencies:
  com.android.support:
    design:
      lang: java
      version: "27.0.2"

Causes exception:

Since the bazel-deps resolver assumes everything to be JARs, and Google Maven hosts mostly AARs, this can't work as-is. Also see https://github.com/johnynek/bazel-deps/issues/119
