Hi,

say, you have 2 Thrift IDL files, like with the tutorial. One {{#include}}s the other. In that case, you call {{thrift -gen whatever -r NameOfTheOuterFile.thrift}} to generate the code recursively. The key is the {{-r}} switch here.

RFe your problem: It should even work if you set up a dummy IDL file file that only holds a bunch of {{#includes}}. I never tried that, but I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work.

> At present, customer could specify one input file to the thrift compiler.  There are maybe two approaches to support multiple input files.
> Approach 1: Improve the option parser in compiler/cpp/src/main.cc.  Maybe we can borrow code from GUN's getopt_long.
> Approach 2: Offer uses a maven plugin which can help them to iterate through a list of input files.
