George Fletcher commented on AVRO-963:
--------------------------------------

It's pretty straight forward to leverage the SpecificCompiler.java setTemplateDir() method via a configuration parameter. However, this still requires the templates to be part of the java class path. Is that acceptable?

For example in the *Mojo.java files...
{code}
/**
*
* Override the default location for the velocity templates
* @parameter
*/
private String templateDir = null;

@Override
protected void doCompile (...) {
    ...

    SpecificCompiler compiler = new SpecificCompiler(protocol);
    if (this.templateDir != null) {
        compiler.setTemplateDir(this.templateDir);
    }
    compiler.setStringType(StringType.valueOf(stringType));
    compiler.compileToDestination(src, outputDirectory);

    ...
}
{code}

> It is currently not possible to override the location of the velocity templates except via overriding a system property which requires a maven command line option. Allow for the location of the templates to be specified via a configuration parameter in the avro maven plugin.
