Hi all,

in the Apache PLC4X project, we’re currently experimenting with using thrift 
for inter-project communication (Agent to Proxy communication)
We didn’t want to add yet another third party dependency to the list of things 
users have to install. Mainly because this way we don’t have control over the 
version.
So in order to be able to do this, we integrated building of the thrift 
compiler and it’s library modules into our build. This worked, however it 
increases build time and build complexity.

So I wanted to know:

  *   Would it be possible for the thrift project to distribute mac, linux, win 
binary versions of the thrift compiler (I know there are Windows version, but 
not for the others)
  *   How are other projects integrating thrift in their builds?

Here’s a link to the pom we use to build thrift compiler and libs on any of the 
above platforms:
