Hello everyone, my name is Eric Liu and I am a Google Summer of Code 2022 student working with ZhengSong Tu.
I want to optimize apisix-java-plugin-runner by deploying its JAR to Maven Central, allowing users to build plugins without having to clone the source code. So far I have 1. Deployed a test JAR to Maven Central under my GAV coordinates ( https://search.maven.org/search?q=io.github.ericluoliu) 2. Created a Demo Java Project ( https://github.com/ericluoliu/DemoAPISIXJavaProject), demo includes: 1. Main Class 2. Demo Filter Class (implements PluginFilter) 3. POM.xml including maven spring boot plugin and coordinates to *Maven Central JAR* 4. Properties file 3. Tested Demo Java Project by: 1. Building executable JAR with command $mvn clean package 2. Running java-plugin-runner-process (with appropriate environment variables) alongside APISIX process and using curl commands to verify communication between APISIX and java-plugin-runner over /tmp/socket.file Releasing APISIX Java-Plugin-Runner to Maven would simplify the java-plugin development process, increasing user productivity and drawing more developers to both APISIX and apisix-java-plugin-runner. Relevant PR can be found here: https://github.com/apache/apisix-java-plugin-runner/pull/153. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this. Thanks! ~Eric Liu
