Hi Mike, Great discussion. It would be nice if there was a protoc Maven plugin:
http://sergei-ivanov.github.io/maven-protoc-plugin/usage.html Looks like there is. My suggestion: 1. use a Profile, something like -Pwith-mesos and then when activated; 2. call the above plugin if -Pwith-mesos is activated in the resource manager Sound good?
