-----------------------------------
Summary: [Java] place files generated by flatc under source control
Key: ARROW-12111
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12111
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Task
Components: Java
Reporter: Bob Tinsman
Assignee: Bob Tinsman
The Arrow binary format is implemented with Flatbuffers specification files
(_*.fbs_ in the top-level _format_ directory). The _flatc_ binary is used to
generate source files for various implementation languages.
The Java build does the generation as part of every build. However, these
languages have _flatc-_generated files under source control:
* C++
* Rust
* Javascript
* C#
Java can do this as well, removing the build dependency on _flatc_ (currently
provided by an unofficial Maven artifact, not available under Windows). The
Java build doc can be updated to reflect this change and document how to
generate and check in files when the binary format changes.
