The proto files are also included in the source tar balls we published in the release page, but not with the protobuf.jar file on Maven. As a result, copying the .proto by yourself is the only way to use it in your project. This is the current situation and we are looking for ways to improve it. What we plan to do is to include these proto files in the protobuf.jar file as well when we push it to Maven. You'll still need to have the import in your protos, but the protoc plugin will be able to find the .proto for you automatically.
