Description

Description of the feature request:

Bazel has a robust feature rich worker implementation baked into it. Exposing it as a Bazel tool or distributing it to maven central would eliminate the need for rule maintainers to build their own workers from scratch.

A few examples of projects that have had to build their own worker implementations: Intellij, rules_kotlin, rules_detekt.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into the Bazel WorkRequestHandler source, maybe extract it into a separate Maven artifact, and set up a Maven publishing workflow (e.g., using Nexus or Sonatype).
