What is it that bothers you about the current build predicament? The Java code generated by protoc is very vanilla and carries with it all the other benefits of having been written in Java. Depending on how often your .proto files change, you could just check the results of your protoc invocations into source control and have your non-Unix devs use those generated Java classes ad infinitum. After all, a compiled protobuf install isn't necessary for normal operation. At least I haven't detected any traces of JNI or anything similar in the code.
On the other hand, having a pure-Java protoc doesn't seem like such a bad idea either. It's just that the devs at Google haven't had a need for it yet. -----Original Message----- From: David Yu <david.yu....@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:21:34 To: maxaf<m...@bumnetworks.com> Cc: Protocol Buffers<protobuf@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Any progress on the Maven plugin?

It would be cool if the compiler were ported to java to be 100% buildable/portable in any platform. If anyone had already started doing so, do speak up.
