Hi

In the OpenRTB reference implementation, I use the avro-maven-plugin
exclusively to generate java classes from .avpr protocol definition files.
Since release 1.6.1 of Avro (I believe), the avro SpecificCompiler defaults
to marking the fields of generated classes to be PUBLIC_DEPRECATED
(@Deprecated directive and public scope) by default. Reading the archives
and the patch that changed this behavior since 1.5.x, I know that one can
use SpecificCompiler in java code and call setFieldProperties to change the
default behavior. But is there also any way to change this using the
apache-maven-plugin ?

I was hoping for examples of pom.xml that show how to add <configuration>
parameters to the avro-maven-plugin so that generated java sources have
field properties PUBLIC or PRIVATE and not PUBLIC_DEPRECATED (default).

Thanks in advance.

The fieldVisibility tag can be added to the avro-maven-plugin
configuration in your pom.xml.

For example:

  <configuration>
    ...
    <fieldVisibility>private</fieldVisibility>
    ...
  </configuration>

Accepted values are "public", "private" and "public_deprecated" (the default).

Interesting observation, could be of value to someone: when I tried what
Doug suggested - at first a mvn clean install did not pick up the change in
the avro-maven-plugin configuration (or so it seemed). Because the
generated java files were still showing @deprecated directives. I had to
manually delete the *.java files and run mvn clean install again to
regenerate the java sources. This worked.

Sounds like something wrong in my maven setup, in my project pom.xml or in
the avro-maven-plugin behavior when the build target is "clean" (i.e.
rebuild all).
