Java - Adding jars to proto_path

[dingwa]

Hi,

I have a situation where I have proto definitions in a third-party foo.jar, but I want to access the definitions from within my own project.  In the documentation for the proto_path flag, it only states "multiple directories in which to look for", with no mention of including jars on the path.  Is this actually possible? Or will I have to write a custom plugin as maven have? I was hoping that this functionality is present out of the box.

Cheers!
