---------------------------------------
Summary: avro-maven-plugin: Can't import idl files as classpath
resources from the same set of sources
Key: AVRO-1384
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1384
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Reporter: Alexandre Normand
Assignee: Alexandre Normand
We have a use case for importing idl files as classpath resources (it makes
possible to re-use idls in downstream artifacts if all imports use classpath
resources as opposed to a file-based reference). To enable this, the imports in
the same artifacts should be able to use classpath resources for other avro
files in the same source structure.
The proposed approach is to just add the source directory of avro files to the
classpath. The avro resources would then follow the directory structure. This
means that if someone configures the avro-maven-plugin with a source directory
like this:
{code}
<sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</sourceDirectory>
{code}
And the idl files live under {{${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/avro}},
the imports could be referencing other avro files like this:
{code}
import idl "avro/otherSchema.avdl";
{code}
Things open for discussion:
* Any documentation required to make this clear to end-users?
* Should I add the resources directories to the classpath as well?
