> 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?
