Description

Avro IDL is very convenient to use, and we currently use the code generation feature in java. However, automatically generating schemata from the IDL is a bit more cumbersome and less automatic than we would like.

It would be great if the functionality of the IdlToSchemataTool could be exposed in the maven plugin as an additional type of thing that could be generated.
