gogo plugin using Gradle

[Andrey Tcherepanov]

Hello,

We are currently build Go code from proto using Gradle + plugin com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.8.7

Since I am getting a bit upset with current state of protoc-gen-go, I am thinking to switch to gogoprotobuf for our grpc stub generation.  Currently, protoc compiler itself is downloaded automatically from mavencentral, which is very convenient. OTOH, protoc-gen-go is deployed by me to our own artifactory (as Maven artifact), and it gets downloaded and used by Gradle protobuf plugin from there. To maintain that build is a bit of inconvenience (build machine used for this does not have Go, so "go get ..." will not work).

Would it be possible for gogoprotobuf to have that artifacts on mavencentral  for all gofast, gogo-* executables like that too? That would simplify deployment for so many cases!

Thanks,

  Andrey

PS. Also, if anybody has a nice Gradle example of multi-folder proto compilation to Go, it would be much appreciated!
