Christopher Tubbs commented on THRIFT-5694:
-------------------------------------------
The current implementation of thrift-maven-plugin is little more than an
exec-maven-plugin that executes the thrift code generator binary, which must
already exist on your system. It's not very useful in that regard. You can just
use exec-maven-plugin to do the same. I'm pretty sure you can just use the old
thrift-maven-plugin to execute the latest version of thrift, and newer versions
aren't really needed for that reason.
I think the real value of having a thrift-maven-plugin would be if the
thrift-maven-plugin bundled the binary, especially if the code generator were
written in pure Java. That would be really useful as a portable Maven plugin,
and would be a good reason to release new versions of thrift-maven-plugin.
Since that's not the case (and will probably never be the case, since the most
active maintainers of Thrift are not Java folks), I'm not sure it's worth it.
Just use exec-maven-plugin.
