Description

[`java_library.srcs`](https://bazel.build/reference/be/java#java_library.srcs) supports `.srcjar` files to facilitate including generated sources. `.properties` files included in `java_library.srcs` are filtered and included in `java_library.resources`. Consider extending the current behaviour so that `.properties` files included in `.srcjar` files are also included in `java_library.resources`. This will facilitate the usage of generated resources.

For example, I have a `genrule` that generates `.java` and `.properties` files and I don't necessarily know all of them during the analysis phase for declaration purposes. For this reason, my rule instead generates a `.srcjar` file. However, the `.properties` files inside that `.srcjar` file are being skipped.

There are other alternative ways of going about it:

- There's already an internal [`resource_jars`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_java/blob/8.9.0/java/common/rules/impl/basic_java_library_impl.bzl#L95) field that could perhaps be reused for this effect (at the moment it seems to always be forced as empty)? However, straight including `.srcjar` files in this field won't achieve the desired outcome as this can result in `.java` files appearing inside the final `.jar` file. Maybe somehow expose this field to users?

- Support something like `.resourcejar` files in `java_library.resources`. This would be a breaking change :pensive:.

Start by reading java/common/rules/impl/basic_java_library_impl.bzl around the resource_jars field and trace how java_library.srcs and java_library.resources handle generated inputs. Compare the proposed approaches and define the completed behavior as preserving Java sources while including .properties files found inside .srcjar outputs.
