When working on a project that doesn't build with bazel but needs to use the runfiles library (for example, when porting a project from gradle to bazel) there's no easy way to access the java runfiles library. The Python world exports theirs as a wheel.
It would be helpful to expose the java runfiles library as a maven coordinate.
Bazel projects can either not use the coordinate or use a maven.override to point to the Bazel-provided version.
