gRPC Java Codegen Plugin for Protobuf Compiler
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
This generates the Java interfaces out of the service definition from a
|
|
`.proto` file. It works with the Protobuf Compiler (``protoc``).
|
|
|
|
Normally you don't need to compile the codegen by yourself, since pre-compiled
|
|
binaries for common platforms are available on Maven Central. However, if the
|
|
pre-compiled binaries are not compatible with your system, you may want to
|
|
build your own codegen.
|
|
|
|
## System requirement
|
|
|
|
* Linux, Mac OS X with Clang, or Windows with MSYS2
|
|
* Java 7 or up
|
|
* [Protobuf](https://github.com/google/protobuf) 3.0.0-beta-3 or up
|
|
|
|
## Compiling and testing the codegen
|
|
Change to the `compiler` directory:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd $GRPC_JAVA_ROOT/compiler
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To compile the plugin:
|
|
```
|
|
$ ../gradlew java_pluginExecutable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To test the plugin with the compiler:
|
|
```
|
|
$ ../gradlew test
|
|
```
|
|
You will see a `PASS` if the test succeeds.
|
|
|
|
To compile a proto file and generate Java interfaces out of the service definitions:
|
|
```
|
|
$ protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc-java=build/exe/java_plugin/protoc-gen-grpc-java \
|
|
--grpc-java_out="$OUTPUT_FILE" --proto_path="$DIR_OF_PROTO_FILE" "$PROTO_FILE"
|
|
```
|
|
To generate Java interfaces with protobuf lite:
|
|
```
|
|
$ protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc-java=build/exe/java_plugin/protoc-gen-grpc-java \
|
|
--grpc-java_out=lite:"$OUTPUT_FILE" --proto_path="$DIR_OF_PROTO_FILE" "$PROTO_FILE"
|
|
```
|
|
To generate Java interfaces with protobuf nano:
|
|
```
|
|
$ protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc-java=build/exe/java_plugin/protoc-gen-grpc-java \
|
|
--grpc-java_out=nano:"$OUTPUT_FILE" --proto_path="$DIR_OF_PROTO_FILE" "$PROTO_FILE"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installing the codegen to Maven local repository
|
|
This will compile a codegen and put it under your ``~/.m2/repository``. This
|
|
will make it available to any build tool that pulls codegens from Maven
|
|
repostiories.
|
|
```
|
|
$ ../gradlew install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
