Kenton, Those are all good points, I agree with you that this kinda coupling could be dangerous and cause trouble if mismanaged. I'm trying to think of a way to keep this protoc safe but at the same time provide the kind of functionality the interface declaration would bring. Problem is that having the interface support requires the code to be actually compiled with the interface declaration, so nothing along the lines of doing something "magical" with dynamic proxies or anything like that seem like it would work (without using the reflection that is). Anything proposed by Chris with separating the declarations via "java_ext" that might work? How about some sort of a templating support maybe (I remember we were discussing that at some point for the "setOrClear" support)?
