I see that there is bazel support for colcon. Is there a standard interface to add new build systems and if so where can I find that documentation? I need to add something other than cmake.

There are quite a few other extensions to colcon for support of systems other than CMake: Python's setup.py, Cargo, Bazel (as you found), Gradle, ROS Gradle, ROS Bazel, Ament, Catkin and special ROS support.

Colcon is not limited to CMake, nor to ROS -- in fact, it's rather ROS agnostic.

As such, it'd probably be more efficient (as in: you'd get answer quicker) to post on the colcon-core issue tracker, as that's what the main developer monitors.

Makes sense. Thanks for the suggestion.
