invalid repository name 'rules_jvm_external~~maven~unpinned_contrib_rules_jvm_deps'

[nlou9]

When I migrate to Bazel 8.0.0 and also 8.0.1rc1, it broke our build with the following error.

ERROR: /private/var/tmp/_bazel_nl/54456b41c0397f1af3a7ca068f37ad86/external/contrib_rules_jvm_deps/BUILD.bazel:3598:6: @@contrib_rules_jvm_deps//:pin: invalid label '@@rules_jvm_external~~maven~unpinned_contrib_rules_jvm_deps//:pin' in attribute 'actual' of 'alias': invalid repository name 'rules_jvm_external~~maven~unpinned_contrib_rules_jvm_deps': repo names may contain only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '-', '_', '.' and '+'

I tried to clean the cache. I still got this error.

Could you help to check if the way rules_jvm_external constructs the repo name is not compatible with Bazel 8. Thanks
