             Summary: updates to make dev on Java and Windows easier
                 Key: ARROW-12006
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12006
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java
         Environment: Windows 10, Java 8
            Reporter: Bob Tinsman


In the process of building Arrow for Java on Windows, I ran into some roadblocks, which I will address either through documenting in the README.md or code changes.

So far, here's what I've got:
 * if you set Git to leave line endings alone (as LF as opposed to changing to CR-LF) checkstyle will give a spurious complaint about a file not ending in a LF
 * Java has no "native" flatc (flatbuffers compiler) so the Maven build gets an unofficial binary artifact; but there's no version for Windows. I can provide an overview for building it and installing the Maven artifact locally.
