-== Building against unpublished JARs, that change frequently
-
-If a dependent Gerrit library is undergoing active development it must be
-recompiled and the change must be reflected in the Buck build process. For
-example testing Gerrit against changed JGit snapshot version. After building
-JGit library, the artifacts are created in local Maven build directory, e. g.:
-
-----
-  mvn package
-  /home/<user>/projects/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/target/org.eclipse.jgit-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
-  /home/<user>/projects/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/target/org.eclipse.jgit-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar
-----
-
-If as usual, installation of the build artifacts takes place in local maven
-repository, then the Buck build must fetch them from there with normal
-`download_file.py` process. Disadvantage of this approach is that Buck cache
-invalidation must occur to refresh the artifacts after next
-change-compile-install round trip.
-
-To shorten that workflow and take the installation of the artifacts to the
-local Maven repository and fetching it again from there out of the picture,
-`local_jar()` method is used instead of `maven_jar()`:
-
-[source,python]
-----
- local_jar(
-   name = 'jgit',
-   jar = '/home/<user>/projects/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/target/org.eclipse.jgit-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar',
-   src = '/home/<user>/projects/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/target/org.eclipse.jgit-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar',
-   deps = [':ewah']
- )
-----
-
-This creates a symlink to the Buck targets direct against artifacts in
-another project's Maven target directory:
-
-----
-  buck-out/gen/lib/jgit/jgit.jar ->
-  /home/<user>/projects/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit/target/org.eclipse.jgit-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
-----
-
-After `buck clean` and `buck build lib/jgit:jgit` the symbolic link that was
-created the first time is lost due to Buck's caching mechanism. This means that
-when a new version of the local artifact is deployed (by running `mvn package`
-in the JGit project in the example above), Buck is not aware of it, because it
-still has a stale version of it in its cache.
-
-To solve this problem and re-create the symbolic link, you don't need to wipe out
-the entire Buck cache. Just rebuilding the target with the `--no-cache` option
-does the job:
-
-----
-  buck clean
-  buck build --no-cache lib/jgit:jgit
