Hmm. I can't "use DescriptorProto to create the message" -- I have no idea what kind of message I'll need to create until runtime.
In my application, one or more plaintext .proto definition files are loaded at runtime, and I need to generate messages based on the types in those files. (If it helps, think of the .proto definition file as the PB equivalent of a WSDL file. At runtime, I'll fetch the .proto definition from a server and give the user a UI that allows them to interact with whatever services are defined there.) Is there a way to extract the types from .proto definition files at runtime (without invoking protoc)? I assume that I'd need some kind of .proto file lexical parser, but I don't see one in the Java source.
