Using protobuf-maven-plugin for grpc-gateway

[ogd...@googlemail.com]

Hello,

Is there a way to compile *.proto containing grpc-gateway definitions using maven? If so, what would that look like?

For regular gRPC services I do what the documentation says - compile using protobuf-maven-plugin with the grpc-java plugin. Much smoother than invoking ant or even running protoc from the command line. I would like to do the same for grpc-gateway.

<plugin>

    <groupId>org.xolstice.maven.plugins</groupId>

    <artifactId>protobuf-maven-plugin</artifactId>

    <version>0.5.0</version>

    <configuration>

        <!-- The version of protoc must match protobuf-java. 

                        If you don't depend on protobuf-java directly, you will be transitively depending 

                        on the protobuf-java version that grpc depends on. -->

        <protocArtifact>com.google.protobuf:protoc:${protobufVersion}:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</protocArtifact>

        <pluginId>grpc-java</pluginId>

        <pluginArtifact>io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:${gRpcVersion}:exe:${os.detected.classifier}</pluginArtifact>

    </configuration>

    <executions>

        <execution>

            <goals>

                <goal>compile</goal>

                <goal>compile-custom</goal>

            </goals>

        </execution>

    </executions>

</plugin>

Thank you,

David
