-------------------------------------
Summary: Avro maven plugin: imports element has incorrect
documentation or behaviour
Key: AVRO-1437
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1437
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Reporter: Dieter Decavele
Priority: Minor
Problem:
I have an enum an a record both sharing the same namespace and placed in the
same directory.
Running the schema goal for the plugin without the imports element just
generates the enum java source.
Issue:
The javadoc on the org.apache.avro.mojo.AbstractAvroMojo.imports field states:
"A list of files or directories that should be compiled first thus making them
importable by subsequently compiled schemas. Note that imported files should
not reference each other."
Adding the import to the directory results in:
Execution default of goal org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.7.5:schema
failed: Can't redefine: *Name of the record*
The record schema is referencing the enum so I suppose this is an appropriate
error.
Adding and empty imports element however works because
org.apache.avro.mojo.SchemaMojo.doCompile(String, File, File) does use this
field but only checks if it has defined (!= null). When defined it will reuse
the schema parser.
Solution:
Either the documentation should be updated to reflect the behaviour or the
behaviour should be altered.
