Allow users to bypass J2CL's default Kotlin repositories #164

Closed aschleck closed 1 year ago

aschleck commented 1 year ago

This enables users to specify newer (or older) Kotlin versions without changes in J2CL.

Actually I'm going to close this because I realized this only really helps if we can also bump rules_kotlin to a more recent version. But when I try to do that in this repository I get a stream of WORKSPACE errors (need rules_jvm_external, then need io_bazel_stardoc, then need build_bazel_rules_android...) that I have very low confidence in successfully solving without breaking someone and perhaps seem better resolved with the upcoming MODULE stuff.
