Description

AVRO-1209 added a template for generating immutable classes. I can't find anything in the Avro docs that tells me how to use it, and it is not obvious to me (as a total n00b to Avro) how to do so. It seems like I'm supposed to specify a different templateDirectory to avro-maven-plugin, but I'm not sure what value to provide there.

Hopefully this is an easy one. I'll keep trying to figure it out, and if I do so before anybody beats me to it, I'll happily write some instructions in a comment here so that someone with edit privs to the docs can just paste it in (or should it be in the Wiki section of the docs? It's unclear why there are Wiki and non-Wiki docs, or what should go in which part).

Thanks!
