bazel-vscode-java VS gwt3-processors

OK, so far so good. My favorite IDE is IntelliJ IDEA that has an official Bazel plugin by Google, but if you prefer VS Code you could try a plugin developed by salesforge.

First steps with Bazel are pain. What’s good, we can reuse 2 samples provided by the J2CL project, these 2 demos are more than enough to get us started. In short, the most important Bazel rules for us are j2cl_library and j2cl_application that can be used to set groups of files and transpile them into an executable JavaScript file. But for it to work one more step is required: we need to define an entry point for our application. It can be done in 2 ways: we can define it with a handwritten JavaScript script like it works in J2CL demos, or we can generate it with an annotation processor I wrote for this purpose, feel free to take a look at the demo too.
