[jira] Commented: (BUILDR-368) Support protocol buffer code generation

["Alex Eagle (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12839721#action_12839721 ] 

Alex Eagle commented on BUILDR-368:
-----------------------------------

@Antoine: No, the build wouldn't produce serialized objects. It should just invoke the code generation tool, when appropriate, to keep the generated output files in sync with the protocol buffer definition file. I mention ANTLR because it does exactly that.

> Protocol buffers are a language-independent data structure definition and serialization library.
> http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
> They are used extensively at Google and are useful for open source projects as well, especially in multi-language distributed systems.
> There's a protoc compiler which reads a .proto file which contains the definitions, and generates code in Java, C++, or Python.
> It would be great to have support in Buildr. I think it would be structurally similar to how the Antlr support works.
