Pants

It seems like the dependency link has been severed somewhere

Expected the normal transitivity of pants behavior to give us everything the JvmApp depends on

Because now JvmApp is rejected because it's not a JvmTarget

`src/python/pants/backend/jvm/targets/jvm_app.py`

<@U053HNE90>: i can get a patch out for that.

it likely needs to walk recursively through anything that is not selected by a language (rather than only walking through aliases)

```+  Goal.by_name('repl').uninstall_task('scala')
+
+  class FixedScalaRepl(ScalaRepl):
+    @classmethod
+    def select_targets(cls, target):
+      return super(FixedScalaRepl, cls).select_targets(target) or isinstance(target, JvmApp)
+
+  task(
+    name='scala',
+    action=FixedScalaRepl,
+  ).install('repl')```

Can you open the GH issue/follow up with this?  I'm running out the door

<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/2952>

I’d appreciate eyes on <https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/3489/>. It’s a small change, with likely no major impact, but a small chance of far-reaching implications…

I’m trying to mark up api’s for public use.  Is anyone actually currently using the android backend?  I can’t find any usage of it in plugins.

<@U07A47275>: it is itself basically a plugin
