Hi,

I have a .avsc schema file in my maven project, and I am able to use it to
write simple avro apps. However, I am not able to generate source code
(classes) from the avro schema file to be able to use them in Avro
MapReduce code.

My pom.xml plugins section looks like this:

    <plugins>
    <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <archive>
                    <manifest>
                        <mainClass>org.avrotest.App</mainClass>
                    </manifest>
                </archive>
                 <manifestEntries>
          <Class-Path>../target/classes</Class-Path>
        </manifestEntries>
                <descriptorRefs>
                    <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
                </descriptorRefs>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

     <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
        <artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.1</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>

I package my jar by running

mvn compile
mvn assembly:single

Best,
Deepak

I think your plugin configuration might be missing some lines.

Here's what mine looks like:
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
        <artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${avro-version}</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>schemas</id>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>protocol</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <includes>
                <include>*.avpr</include>
              </includes>

<sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/share/schemas/contrail/</sourceDirectory>

<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/java</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

I don't know if the compiler works with avsc files but assuming it does,
you'll probably need to either change or add an appropriate include:
e.g
<include> *.avsc</include>
You'll also want to change the sourcedirectory to the directory where your
schema files are located.

Thanks! That worked!
