Hello, I have been maintaining a fork of a maven plugin for Google protobuf compiler on GitHub for the last couple of years. Now that it has gained some popularity, there is some popular demand to deploy it into Maven Central. Having thought about it, I would like to do it properly and I would like to host it at CodeHaus (although with GitHub remaining as SCM). I would like to make a clean start, repackage everything into org.codehaus.mojo and so on.
At the moment the plugin offers the following functionality: - generation of Java code (production and test) from proto definitions, with support of cross-project and cross-module dependencies - generation of compiled protobuf descriptors - support for a custom protoc toolchain - support for 2nd level plugins (plugins for protobuf compiler) written in Java and packaged as Maven artifacts We (my team) have already been using the the plugin in production environment (mission-critical finance applications) for the last two years or so. The current home for the plugin is: http://sergei-ivanov.github.io/maven-protoc-plugin/ (Plugin Documentation) https://github.com/sergei-ivanov/maven-protoc-plugin (Git repo) The proposed coordinates are org.codehaus.mojo:protobuf-maven-plugin I hope that you will favour my application. With kind regards, your hausmate hopeful, -- Sergei Ivanov
