Description

Given the following code in a `BUILD` file.

```
load("@rules_jvm_external//:defs.bzl", "java_export")

java_export(
name = "app-config-lib-export",
maven_coordinates = "com.bmuschko.app:config:1.0.0",
srcs = glob(["*.java"]),
deps = [
"@maven//:org_apache_commons_commons_configuration2"
],
runtime_deps = [
"@maven//:commons_beanutils_commons_beanutils"
]
)
```

Executing the command below produces an error message with Bazel 7.0.0.

```
$ bazelisk run --define "maven_repo=file://$HOME/.m2/repository" //src/main/java/com/bmuschko/app/config:app-config-lib-export

Research direction

Reproduce the failure from the supplied BUILD snippet and Bazel 7.0.0 command. Start in private/rules/maven_project_jar.bzl at line 65 and compare the java_common call with Bazel's toolchain declaration requirement. Done means the java_export target runs without the reported toolchain error.
