• Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
• Component/s: build
• Hadoop Flags: Reviewed
• Release Note: Simplifies .proto manipulations. One step only now -- no need to keep pom.xml listing up to date with the protobuf protos directory content -- and no need to preinstall protoc; mvn does it all for you now.

Description

hadoop-maven-plugins takes less configuration and avoids duplication – having to add .proto file in protobuf dir as well as add it explicitly to pom.xml. This plugin also lets you set more than one source (hadoop-maven-plugins expects you to compile first w/ one dir and then the other).

Thanks to Apache9 for pointing out this plugin.
