> IDL Import from project classpath
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-971
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.6.1
> Environment: Maven java projects
> Reporter: Victor Chau
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: patch
> Attachments: ImportFromClassPath.patch, ImportFromClassPath_v2.patch,
> ImportFromClassPath_v3.patch
>
>
> Currently, it looks like the only option to importing another schema in IDL
> is to place the file being imported in the same directory as that of the
> importing avdl. In a setup where there are avdl's that are spread among
> several maven projects that are owned by different teams, this is
> logistically difficult to manage.
> When using the avro-maven-plugin, I would like to be able to just create a
> dependency from my project on another jar that contains the avdl I am want to
> import and have Avro be smart enough to look for it in the classpath of the
> project containing the avdl when compiling my avdl.
> Attached is a working patch that will:
> 1. Change the IDLProtocolMojo class to lookup the current project's
> classpath and create a new ClassLoader.
> 2. Give the Idl compiler class the ClassLoader before parsing the avdl.
> 3. If the Idl class encounters an import that it cannot resolve to the
> local directory while parsing, it will try to use the ClassLoader to load up
> the file being imported.
> The patch spans the Avro 1.6.1 tag of the Java avro, avro-compiler, and
> avro-maven-plugin projects.
