Settles the prebuilt-vs-source question for the JVM batch once, as asked in the reviews of #901, #903, #904 and #923.

Why an exception. AGENTS.md requires a build from source "when the upstream project's toolchain is available in pkgs". For JVM tools that premise does not hold yet:

  • maven and gradle are themselves upstream binary distributions.
  • Nothing stages Maven Central dependencies offline. cargo, go and pnpm each have such a step.

A from-source jbang would be an upstream-binary Gradle downloading its whole dependency closure, which is no stronger than jbang's own sha-pinned jar. The JDK is not the gap: #913 builds it from source.

The rule added. Bytecode-only tools may ship the upstream release jar if:

  • its sha256 matches upstream's published one;
  • binary_from records it;
  • it runs on the packaged jdk and does not fetch a JDK of its own.

Native code shipped with the jars is out of scope. mvnd (#904) already justifies its GraalVM binary separately.

Exit. #969 tracks Maven and Gradle from source plus an offline Maven staging step. When those land, the batch converts together.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified source-build requirements for JVM bytecode-only tools.
    • Upstream release JARs may be used when the SHA256 checksum is verified, the source is recorded, and the tool runs with the packaged JDK without downloading another JDK.
    • Packages containing native code, including GraalVM images and bundled shared libraries, remain excluded from this exception.

maven and gradle are upstream binary distributions and nothing stages Maven Central dependencies
for an offline build, so the build-from-source rule's premise does not hold for JVM tools yet.
Bytecode-only tools may ship upstream release jars (upstream sha256 checked, binary_from, run on the
packaged jdk); native code is not covered. #969 tracks the conversion.

AGENTS.md documents a temporary exception that allows certain JVM-bytecode-only tools to use upstream release JARs under specified verification and execution conditions.

Changes: JVM Release JAR Policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release JAR exception
AGENTS.md
Documents conditions for using upstream release JARs, including SHA256 verification, setting binary_from, and using the packaged jdk. Bundled native code remains excluded, and the exception ends when issue #969 is resolved.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 304cc

The exception can admit release JARs that fetch unverified dependencies, weakening the repository’s source-build supply-chain guarantee; close the dependency set before merging.

- Around line 434-440: Update the JVM tools exception criteria in the documented
section so that, in addition to using the packaged jdk, tools cannot download or
execute other runtime, build, or executable dependencies; require the complete
non-JDK dependency closure to be bundled in the checksum-covered artifact and
available offline.

… jar

Review fix: the exception now also requires every jar the tool loads to
be in the checksum-covered artifact, so it runs offline and never fetches
code of its own. Fetching for the user (a project's deps, plugins,
metadata searches) stays the tool's job and is declared through `needs`.

Approving the exception. It's scoped to JVM tools, needs binary_from and the packaged jdk, and sunsets at #969. I'll leave the wording points below to your judgement:

  • Native code (line 467): the text excludes "bundled .so files", but kotlin-compiler.jar and pmd's jna, jline-native and kotlin-compiler-embeddable carry JNI .so resources unpacked at run time, as maven's jansi already does. Read literally, #901 and #907 don't qualify. Consider saying explicitly whether native libraries embedded in upstream jars are allowed.
  • "Matches the one upstream publishes": only Kotlin publishes a .sha256. It may help to say what counts: the release-asset digest, Maven Central checksums, or a signature.
  • "Upstream release jar": kotlin, pmd and spotbugs ship jar distributions (launcher scripts plus jars).
  • Line 458: "JVM tools are such a case" follows "only if the toolchain isn't packaged", but jdk, maven and gradle are packaged. Rephrasing as a documented exception reads more cleanly.
  • Requiring a package comment that cites #969 would make the conversion batch searchable.
  • Small: "when #969 lands" should be "is resolved" (it's an issue); binary_from could point to an example; the PR body lists three conditions where the text has four; and #913 (JDK from source) is still a draft.
