Eric Anderson e085a0eca0 Bump to Gradle 4.7
The new jmh plugin fixes a warning for the newer version of Gradle.
The new AppEngine plugin still produces a warning, but updating it
anyway so people know that upgrading the plugin doesn't fix the problem.
The new android-maven plugin fixes a build problem with the newer
Gradle.

The Visual Studio fixes were necessary starting ~4.4.

describes the change in behavior.

There's nothing immediately being used as part of this update. It's just
to keep us current and to get us over that Visual Studio change hump.

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 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
