So the output location has to be a directory. And anyway, it's Java that imposes the rules about directory layout. I have been considering adding an option to output to a .jar file instead of a directory. This would get you a trivially-predictable output while still following Java's rules about directory layout. BTW, this may not be helpful to you, but the Java code generator is already capable of generating a separate file containing a list of outputs by invoking it like: protoc my.proto --java_out=output_list_file=list.txt:path/to/outdir This will place a file "list.txt" into the output directory (path/to/outdir) which is a simple text file listing the names of the other files generated, one per line. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
