Protocol Generator Plugin

The protocol generator plugin is used for generating source code from a protocol.xml file, as specified by the StyxProtocol?. The plugin currently takes the following parameters:

protocol_file

The name of the protocol file.

language

The language to generate, available values are: 'java', 'c' and 'flash'.

package_name

The package to put the generated files in

output_dir (DEPRECATED since 1.7-SNAPSHOT)

Where to put the generated code. This will be deprecated in future versions.

output_base_dir

Base directory for the generated code. Default is target/jruby-protocol-plugin/generated-sources. The generated source will be generated to <output_base_dir>/<language>/<langugage specific package structure>.

generate_visitors

Should be set to true. This will be deprecated in future versions.

fail_on_bad_packet_order

defaults to false, if true fail the build if the XML protocol specification declares packets out of order that will generate compile errors in C++
