Hi,

I'm looking for a way to override the default velocity templates used to
generate java sources from IDL files. I know that I can do this by
passing a command like argument to override
'org.apache.avro.specific.templates' but that doesn't work well with our
build process. We want a standard set of templates used by many developers.

What is the best way to override the system property? It appears from
the avro code that while the SpecificCompiler.java supports a
setTemplateDir() method, nothing in the avro-maven-plugin calls this method.

Thanks,
George

To the best of my recollection, the IDL custom template bits you mention
below have not been wired up through all of the tooling.  Please feel free
to submit JIRA tickets and patches to improve it.

Thanks!
