Description

I'm using Maven to build my project. I'm trying to add my custom LogicalType (e.g. GenericDate another implementation of DateConversion). When the Maven project is building with customLogicalTypeFactories and customConversions tags, I'm getting the following error :

Failed to execute goal org.apache.avro:avro-maven-plugin:1.11.1:schema (schemas) on project atlas_v: Error compiling protocol file [file.avsc] to atlas-v\src\main\java

<customLogicalTypeFactories>
<logicalTypeFactory>com.vadis.utils_avro.GenericDateLogicalTypeFactory</logicalTypeFactory>
</customLogicalTypeFactories>
<customConversions>
<customConversion>com.vadis.utils_avro.GenericDateConversion</customConversion>
</customConversions>

It would be my build which is looking for my custom LogicalType (whereas they are inside my project itself) to be automatically generated by Avro.

Then, I specify to Avro to "register" my LogicalType :

LogicalTypes.register("generic_data", new GenericDateLogicalTypeFactory()); 

Should I change the build process or do you have any solution to do that ?
