Some JARs are "executable" in the sense that they can be run directly with java -jar. This is supported by setting a main class in the JAR's manifest file.

It may be convenient to be able to run such JARs using bazel run. The java_import rule could support this. An executable boolean attribute could be added to the rule to let the user indicate whether a JAR is in fact executable.
