How to import openrtb.proto in custom extension ? about openrtb HOT 6 CLOSED

This is a common difficulty with protobufs + Maven, there's no good building support, at least last time I checked, and imports / dependenciesfrom external protos have to be resolved manually. What I do is using the maven-download-plugin, see here:

https://github.com/google/openrtb-doubleclick/blob/1.2.3/doubleclick-openrtb/pom.xml

Basically, you need to make the pom download external protos, then use maven-antrun-plugin to run javac on that and finally use build-helper-maven-plugin to add this compikled code to the build path for the rest of the Maven project. Lots of maven boilerplate but works well.

@opinali
Thank you for your response. I would follow your step. One more question any plan to update to OpenRtb 2.5 in near future.

The short answer is yes, we're committed to support new releases of OpenRTB as they come, but there's no public schedule for specific releases. Best thing you can do is communicate any urgency to your DoubleClick account manager. ;-)

I was able to solve this as follows:
in my new *.proto file I added the import as so:
import "openrtb.proto";

I then added the dependency as usual in maven.

I used the protobuf-maven-plugin plugin which makes me put the .proto files in the "src.main.proto" directory, but the import works and code is being generated as reuested.

Hi Yoav, checking your messages now -- is this related to issue #107 or that one is unsolved?

Hi
I just thought I would share how I succeeded.
As for issue #107 it is still unresolved.
