Instructions for Bazel do not work

Following the instructions in the main readme for Bazel do not work.

I am getting this:

ERROR: Analysis of target '//:Main' failed; build aborted: no such package '@com_google_dagger//': BUILD file not found on package path

WORKSPACE:

        "@com_google_dagger//:dagger_with_compiler",
    ]
)

I think this issue should be reopened. The instructions on the readme for using Dagger with Bazel are still as the original poster described, and they still produce the same results when you try to follow them.

The instructions that were added by @ronshapiro at https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/1422#issuecomment-483740264 as the reason for closing this issue appear to be for setting up your development environment for hacking on dagger itself, not for using it in another project.

The instructions posted by @mancini0 at https://github.com/google/dagger/issues/1422#issuecomment-513581156 do appear to work, so if there is no way to update the instructions in the current readme so that they do work, maybe they should be changed to follow the alternate approach his example lays out.

@austince, coincidentally, we’re working on this now. I’ll update the docs once this is in.

We’ll be using rules_jvm_external/maven_install for the macro, but that should just be an implementation detail for users calling the macro.
