Now, that cross-cell support is implemented: [1] we can share rules between projects. Cell is a container with its own buck-out directory. The Buck design allows to replace a cell with alternative location. This is a preparation change to support cross-cell dependencies. The prerequisite for the hijacked cell to work properly, is that the classpaths are always represented as absolute paths. That was not the case in Buck implementation and thus classpath resolution across cell boundaries was broken. This got fixed in: [2], [3].
