How to use Google Protobufs with Buildr?

[Sean Rhea <se...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I found BUILDR-368, which seems to add support for generating .java
files from .proto files, but I can't figure out quite how to use it.
I presume it's going to add some task as a prereq for the compile
task, generate .java files, and add the path where it puts them to the
input compile path.  Is that right?  I can see that I need to

require 'buildr/protobuf'

but what else do I need to do?  Is there a small example somewhere?

Thanks in advance,
Sean

I've now updated the rdoc of addon/buildr/protobuf.rb to reflect this.

I haven't seen any examples anywhere.

Just reading through the source quickly, it looks like you use it as follows
in your project:

protoc _("path/to/proto/files")

and also supports two options,

:output => "target/generated/protoc"  # this is the default
:lang => "java" # defaults to compile.language
