Kun Zhang 6da8f471f7 compiler: whitelist USER32.DLL. (#2455)
The 32-bit windows grpc codegen built with protobuf 3.0.2 depends on
USER32.DLL, while the previous release built with protobuf 3.0.0 didn't.
Both protobuf and grpc codegen are built under msys2-mingw32.

"objdump -x libprotobuf-10.dll | grep DLL" also shows the USER32.DLL
dependency being brought by protobuf:

3.0.0

 DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll
 DLL Name: msvcrt.dll
 DLL Name: zlib1.dll
 DLL Name: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
 DLL Name: libstdc++-6.dll

3.0.2

 DLL Name: KERNEL32.dll
 DLL Name: msvcrt.dll
 DLL Name: USER32.dll
 DLL Name: zlib1.dll
 DLL Name: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
 DLL Name: libstdc++-6.dll

While unexpected, USER32.dll is shipped with Windows so having such
dependency shouldn't cause any trouble.

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/binaries/java_pluginExecutable/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/binaries/java_pluginExecutable/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/binaries/java_pluginExecutable/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
